Swedish massage is the most traditional form of Western massage, and for many it’s the image associated with massage. It is provided to promote general relaxation and well-being and sometimes for relief for symptoms associated with health conditions. 

Swedish massage is known to promote circulation. Among the areas of research: the potential of massage to improve blood pressure and other vital signs. In short, it’s gaining a reputation as more than just a stress-buster.

There are five basic strokes: effleurage, petrissage, tapotement, friction, and vibration. Petrissage refers to kneading motions, effleurage to stroking – the massage technique one may associate most strongly with Swedish massage and with the accompanying relaxation.

Swedish massage is generally practiced with the client lying on a massage table with draping in place of clothing. Massage therapists use massage oils and may incorporate elements such as aroma to contribute to relaxation and wellness. Swedish massage may be practiced in spa settings or clinical settings. Many massage therapists provide sessions in their own homes and/or travel to clients’ homes. Sessions are often an hour in length.
