What is a Swedish Massage?
The Swedish Massage is the most common and best-known type of massage. If it's your first massage, Swedish massage is the perfect place to start.
Swedish massage (and other types of therapeutic massages are performed by trained, licensed massage therapists). It can be slow and gentle, or vigorous and bracing, depending on the therapist's personal style and what he or she wants to achieve.
Why It's Called Swedish Massage?
Swedish massage is based on the Western conc
epts of anatomy and physiology as opposed to energy work that is more common in Asian-style massage. Both Swedish massage and physical therapy were pioneered by a Swedish physiologist, Per Henrik Ling (1776-1839) at the University of Stockholm.
In the early 19th century he developed a system called "Medical Gymnastics" which included movements performed by a therapist. These then became known as "Swedish movements" in Europe and "the Swedish Movement Cure" when they came to the U.S. in 1858. Today it is simply known as Swedish massage. Swedish massage is the foundation for other types of Western massage, including sports massage, deep tissue massage, and aromatherapy massage.
