Swedish massage combines a variety of techniques that help ease muscle aches and tension, improve circulation and flexibility, a offer relaxation. Long, gliding strokes are combined with kneading, friction, vibration and tapping to increase blood flow and oxygen to the muscles, while releasing toxins. This technique has been used since the early 1800s when it was developed by Henri Peter Ling at the University of Stockholm, Sweden.
This massage style works two ways at the same time: it energizes the skin and nervous system while reducing stress. It invigorates and soothes.
