What Is Swedish Massage?
Swedish massage is the most widely recognized and commonly requested massage technique in the world. Developed in the 19th century by Per Henrik Ling, this therapeutic method uses five core strokes — effleurage (long gliding strokes), petrissage (kneading), tapotement (rhythmic tapping), friction (deep circular movements), and vibration — to promote deep relaxation, improve circulation, and ease muscle tension.
Unlike more intense techniques, Swedish massage focuses on overall well-being rather than targeting specific problem areas. The therapist uses massage oil to reduce friction and applies gentle to moderate pressure, making it ideal for first-time clients and those seeking stress relief. Each session is tailored to your comfort level, ensuring a deeply calming experience in the privacy of your own home or hotel room in Dordrecht.
