Used in relaxation and treatment massage. Swedish massage is the most commonly used of all massage modalities. Swedish is one of the most popular styles of massage. With this technique the therapist can soothe you and the pain seems to just vanish as you become more and more relaxed. The tranquility you experience during your Swedish massage will for sure be experienced again that night, as massage has a tremendous effect on your sleep. This is also the style used for deep tissue massage. One hour to an hour a half.

Swedish massage has three very distinctive strokes: Efflerauge, Petrasauge, and Friction. When done in this order, it first prepares you and your body for the massage, then opens your muscles and tissues, and finally pressure is added to separate the muscles. All other strokes that the therapist uses is their take on how they feel the massage should go. It is like their signature on their work.
