How Swedish Massage Works

Swedish massage uses a combination of structured, flowing techniques to promote relaxation and improve tissue mobility. Pressure is typically light to moderate and adjusted based on your comfort level.

Your therapist may incorporate:

  • Effleurage – Long, gliding strokes to relax the body and warm the tissue
  • Petrissage – Gentle kneading to reduce muscle tension
  • Friction – Targeted work on areas of mild tightness
  • Tapotement – Light rhythmic tapping to stimulate the tissue
  • Vibration techniques – Subtle movements to release tension

These techniques work together to support circulation, reduce tension, and create a calming therapeutic effect.

  • Clients new to massage therapy
