Swedish massage is the most popular and widely recognized form of therapeutic massage. Developed in the 1800s by Swedish physiologist Per Henrik Ling, this time-tested technique uses five basic strokes - effleurage (long gliding strokes), petrissage (kneading), tapotement (rhythmic tapping), friction (circular pressure), and vibration - to promote deep relaxation and improve circulation.
Unlike deep tissue massage, Swedish massage uses lighter to moderate pressure, making it perfect for first-time massage clients or anyone seeking pure relaxation without intense pressure.
