Swedish Massage is defined by the alternating use of firm and gentle pressure to the deeper muscles and bones, utilizing the natural flow of blood returning to the heart and aiding in lymph fluid circulation.

Swedish Massage Facts

In 1812, physiologist Henri Peter Ling developed this revolutionary body manipulation technique involving various stroking methods. These methods proved an astonishing natural restorative for human muscle tissue, ligaments, and tendons – keeping them pliable and supple. By flushing the muscles of metabolic waste, recovery time from muscular strain was dramatically shortened. The skin and nervous system were stimulated, reducing emotional and physical stress.

The Swedish Movement Cure was introduced to the United States in 1958, and became immensely popular as an alternative to common stretching and medication. Massage therapists began intense training in Swedish Massage techniques involving six primary stroking systems: Effleurage, Petrissage, Friction, Vibration, Percussion, and Active/Passive movement.

Physical and Mental Benefits

Effleurage utilizes gliding strokes with palm, fingertips and thumbs. Petrissage uses a kneading movement with hands, fingers and thumbs. Friction involves hands, fingers and thumbs with circular pressure. Vibration provides fluctuating movements that vibrate or shake the body, while brisk hacking and tapping define the Percussive massage stroke. Active/Passive movements of stretching and bending enhance the end results of the Swedish Massage Therapy.

The proven health benefits of Swedish Massage are myriad: from calming irritated nerves and assisting the body in elimination of metabolic waste, to reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and breaking up scar tissue for better range of muscle and joint motion. Stiff joints are eased, digestion is stimulated, and blood and lymph fluid circulation is vastly improved.
