 Classic
massage, which is also referred to as Swedish massage,
is the most commonly offered and best known type of
massage. It was developed by Swedish
physiologist, Henri Peter Ling at the University of
Stockholm in 1812. It uses firm but gentle pressure to
improve the circulation, ease muscle aches and tension,
improve flexibility and create relaxation.
The therapist uses massage oil to facilitate making
long, smooth strokes over the body. Swedish massage is
done with the person covered by a sheet, a technique
called "draping". One part of the body uncovered,
massaged, and then covered up before moving on to
another part of the body.
