Specifically speaking there are six basic techniques that comprise a “traditional” Swedish massage…effleurage, friction, petrissage, tapottement, traction and vibration. Though today Swedish massage is a loosely used term that is synonymous with “Relaxing Massage” and that is exactly what it is, deep relaxation, release of stress and maybe even a little nap. Your massage therapist will incorporate Swedish techniques and other techniques into your massage, according to your needs, allowing for maximum relaxation and therapy. If this is your preferred style of massage then our Lake Tahoe Massage is for you.
