Treat yourself to a Swedish Massage in Auckland
Swedish massage is one of the most popular and widely practised massage styles around the world and is a favourite of many of our clients.
What is a Swedish massage?
Swedish massage combines Western and Thai massage techniques to create a distinctive and invigorating therapy. This full-body treatment employs firm pressure to stimulate circulation, release muscle tension, alleviate pain, and rejuvenate the entire body.
The main thing that sets a Swedish massage apart from other massages is its specific combination of techniques. Swedish massage is characterised by the use of five fundamental strokes: effleurage (long gliding strokes), petrissage (kneading and squeezing), friction (deep, circular movements), tapotement (rhythmic tapping), and vibration (fine, rapid movements). These techniques are applied in a particular sequence and rhythm to create a flowing and harmonious massage experience.
