Swedish Massage Facts
Swedish Massage is a combination of massage techniques used by the ancient civilisations of China, India, Egypt, Rome and Greece and was developed in the 1800’s by a Swedish Physiologist called Per Henrik Ling, who introduced the techniques we use today, which include Effleurage, Petrissage, Tapotement and Vibration.

Massage is composed of various manipulations of the soft body tissue, such as muscle.  The word “massage” is believed to have come from the Arabic word “Mass” or “Mash” which means to press softly.

Physiological Effects include, improving blood circulation, Lymphatic drainage, aids digestion, improves the skin condition, encourages sleep, removes lactic acid from tired, aching muscles, relieves stiff joints and encourages deeper, relaxed breathing.
