What is Swedish Massage?

Swedish massage is a full-body relaxation massage that uses long, gliding strokes with light to moderate pressure. The goal is to relax the whole body, reduce tension and promote a calm, balanced nervous system.

It’s the perfect massage for anyone who wants a soothing, gentle and restorative treatment rather than deep or intense pressure.

A Quick Background

Despite the name, Swedish massage wasn’t created in Sweden. In English-speaking countries it became known as “Swedish massage,” while in Sweden it’s simply called “classic massage.” Today it’s one of the most widely practised and recognised massage styles worldwide.
