A system of long strokes, kneading and friction techniques combined with active and passive movements of the joints.
- The classic European massage. The therapist, using massage oil,
manipulates muscles with a variety of stokes.
- Used to stimulate
circulation, ease muscle tension, improve flexibility and promote
relaxation.
- One of the most well-known massage techniques, Swedish massage is both a gentle and vigorous system of body treatment designed to energize the body by stimulating circulation and creating relief and relaxation.
- Five basic strokes, all flowing toward the heart, with the application of oil, to reduce friction on the skin are used to manipulate the soft tissues of the body.
- The disrobed client is covered by a sheet, with only the area being worked on exposed.
I use a combination of kneading, rolling, and percussive movements which may speed healing and reduce swelling from injury.
