SWEDISH MASSAGE
Neck, shoulders and back.

Massage enthusiasts consider Swedish Massage to be a more relaxing, lighter touch massage than most other massages. It’s referred to as the “classic” most common type of massage seen.

Swedish massage uses five styles of long, flowing strokes to massage. The five basic strokes are effleurage (sliding or gliding), petrissage (kneading), tapotement (rhythmic tapping), friction (cross fiber) and vibration/shaking.

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.
