| Swedish Massage Swedish Massage is one of the most relaxing types of massage, and the most common. It consists mostly of two basic strokes, effleurage and pettrisage. Effleurage - long, slow, gliding strokes. These strokes are used to relax the body, and to evenly distribute the lotion or oils onto the body. Pettrisage - deeper, kneading strokes. These strokes are used to wake up the muscles, increase circulation, and relax knots and sore muscles. Swedish Massage can be used either as relaxation, or for health benefits.
