Swedish Massage Therapy
Swedish massage is the standard type of massage offered in most clinics, gyms, spas, and wellness centers. Using lotion or oil, massage therapists typically begin with broad general strokes and then transition to specific strokes to address problem areas.
There are five basic strokes in Swedish massage therapy:
Effleurage (long smooth strokes)
Petrissage (kneading, rolling, and lifting)
Friction (wringing or small circular movements)
Tapotement (percussion)
Vibration (rocking and shaking movements)
Swedish massage provides full-body muscle relaxation, and it can be especially helpful if you're recovering from an injury.
