Classic Swedish Massage uses five styles of long, flowing strokes to massage. The five basic strokes are effleurage (light touch), petrissage (kneading), friction (compression), tapotement rhythmic tapping) and vibration.
Swedish massage has shown to be helpful in reducing pain, joint stiffness, and improving function in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee over a period of eight weeks. The development of
Swedish massage is credited to Per Henrik Ling though the Dutch practitioner Johan Georg Mezger adopted the French names to denote the basic strokes.
Oriental Swedish Massage is a combination of Classic
Swedish Massage and Acupressure Therapy. Ideal for clients who enjoy the benefits of western oil massage and oriental therapy.
