Swedish massage was developed by a Swedish physiologist, Henri Peter Ling at the University of Stockholm in 1812.
It is the manipulation of soft tissue for therapeutic purposes.
Swedish massage is available as a full body massage, as a back massage, or as a back neck and shoulder massage.

It uses a firm but gentle pressure to improve the circulation, ease muscle aches and tension, improve flexibility and create relaxatio

The therapist generally uses massage oil, talc, or cream to facilitate making long, smooth strokes over the body.

Swedish massage is done with the person covered by towels, a technique called “draping”.

One part of the body uncovered, massaged, and then covered up before moving on to another part of the body.

Swedish massage is the foundation for other types of Western massage, including sports, deep tissue and aromatherapy.
There are so many more benefits of massage and if you’ve never had a massage before, now is definitely the time to get one which ever one you choose.
