Swedish massage is the most commonly offered and best-known type of massage therapy. It is soothing, relaxing and promotes good health. Los Angeles Swedish Massage is one of our most popular services for a few reasons. First of all Swedish Massage is a healing and rejuvenating experience. If you have never had a professional massage, Swedish, also known as Therapeutic Massage, is a great place to start. During Swedish massage, massage therapists use massage oils to facilitate smooth, gliding strokes called effleurage. Other classic Swedish massage moves include kneading, friction, stretching and (sometimes) tapping. The tapping, or chopping movement of the hands is known as percussion. This is meant to be a soothing vibrating experience which loosens muscles and promotes blood flow. Swedish massage uses firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation and ease muscle tension. The main purpose of Swedish massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles.
