As one of the most popular modalities, Swedish massage is a gentle approach to the art of massage that can help induce relaxation, introduce a variety of massage movements to release stress and tension, and is a great way to help you achieve a harmonious health and wellness balance.
Viva Spa Vashi Navi Mumbai, we practice this therapeutic form of massage to deliver you results. With a rich history based in Western concepts of both anatomy and physiology, there are several different movements associated with this form of massage:
- Effleurage
- Known as the long sweeping strokes, similar to gliding or sliding, effleurage moves between a light and firm application of pressure to aid in breaking up muscle tension.
- Petrissage
A kneading motion utilizing the thumb and knuckles to work the tissues of the body, this movement helps prepare your body to receive the other techniques involved in any Swedish massage.
- Tapotement
This rhythmic tapping is key in relaxing and reenergizing your muscles.
- Friction
With friction comes heat and the heat produced by vigorously rubbing hands on skin warms the muscles and aids in relaxation.
- Vibration
By using a back and forth action of the fingertips across the skin and the side of the hands to apply a vibration through shaking, this technique loosens the muscles and helps promote the release of tension and stress.
