Introduction to Swedish Massage

This massage style is known in Sweden and throughout most of the world as 'classic massage'; only the Dutch and English speaking countries refer to it as 'Swedish'. True to its classical name, it is generally the most well-known massage in the Western world. The treatment helps to promote the many general benefits of massage. For example, circulation is enhanced while muscular tension is reduced and knots are removed. 

This full-body massage is soft and relaxing and employs some deep tissue work. It is an ideal lesson through which to master the basics of massaging with oil. Once comfortable with these basics, the techniques of many other massages can be attempted with confidence. 

Effleurage, petrissage, friction and percussive strokes are demonstrated.
