What is Swedish Massage?

Swedish massage uses a combination of long strokes, kneading and tapping or percussion movements to improve circulation, reduce muscle tension and enhance flexibility. It is the most commonly used form of bodywork, perhaps because it can be easily adapted to suit every client's needs. Because it usually targets the superficial layers of muscles, this type of massage does not require much pressure or deep work, so you are more likely to feel comfortable during a session.

  • Headaches
  • Lower back pain
