WHAT IS CLASSIC MASSAGE?

Also called Swedish massage after its inventor. At the beginning of the 19th century, the Swede Per Henrik Ling had developed various hand movements such as brushing, kneading, rubbing, knocking and vibrating. The skin and muscles are massaged directly. By kneading the tense and hard muscles, the tension normalizes: the muscles become soft and elastic again.

Swedish Massage Therapy is the best known and most widely used type of therapeutic massage that relaxes the entire body. It is known for its relaxing powers, but is also extremely useful for increasing the levels of oxygen in the bloodstream, improving flexibility and circulation, and reducing stress. This type of massage focuses on muscle relaxation and targets superficial muscles rather than the connective tissue that the deep tissue massage targets. During the therapy session, the therapist works with the soft tissues and muscles in the body to restore balance and health.

During a Swedish massage, the therapist lubricates the skin with massage oil or lotion and performs various massage strokes. These movements warm the muscle tissue, relieve tension and gradually loosen muscle knots or adhesions. Techniques are used by the hands and palms and include circular motions, stroking, and kneading. The pressures and techniques can be customized to suit your specific needs.
