While there are many different forms of massage, Swedish massage may be the most popular. Certainly it is one of the most common forms of massage offered in the Europe and North America. Because Swedish massage is typically included as part of professional massage therapy training, it is readily available at places like health clubs, clinics, and spas.
As part of their massage therapy training, practitioners learn a number of different massage techniques and strokes. Many of these are incorporated into a standard Swedish massage. During a Swedish massage session, a massage therapist tries to induce relaxation and improve circulation within body tissues.
A Swedish massage may last an hour or more. It usually begins with a focus on relaxation. To do so, the massage therapist will use effleurage strokes. These are smooth gliding strokes performed with palms, fingertips, or thumbs. As relaxation occurs and problem areas are identified, the massage therapist will begin to use petrissage strokes. Here the massage therapist performs a deeper kind of kneading with fingers and thumb. Massage oils may used to further enhance the massage experience.
Swedish massage is said to have many benefits. Among other things, it produces a general state of relaxation. The relaxation produced by Swedish massage helps to reduce stress and its adverse effects on the body. Proponents also believe that it aids in tissue detoxification. The improved circulation associated with Swedish massage is thought to release toxins from the muscles that can be eliminated through excretion.

First time in spa? Try Swedish massage
Gurgaon, March 3 (IANS) If you are tired and want a massage that won’t dip you in oils and at the same time relaxes your body and mind, then opt for Swedish massage at the FOS Laser spa in Gurgaon.
Apart from various ayurvedic and international spa treatments, the place emphasises a lot on wellness and has a salon, weight management equipments and detox equipment. It has a hair spa as well.
Looking at the serene white walls, listening to soothing background music and smelling the aromatic oils, one just wants to sit back and get pampered.
In a modern furnished room that is well equipped with steam and shower sections, taking a Swedish massage might not sound an exciting idea but it’s worth a try.
Aromatic oils like lavender are used for the massage to facilitate smooth, gliding strokes, with a bit of stretching and sometimes tapping on the body.
While massaging, gentle pressure is maintained to promote relaxation. But in specific areas like foot and neck, circular and focussed massage is given to ease muscle tension.
Don’t be embarrassed if you fall asleep during the session; it is but natural.
After the massage is over, take a 10-minute steam bath and then a shower.
The fragrance of the aromatic oils used in this massage is so strong that it will stick with you for a few more hours.
