This massage originated in Sweden in the 19th century thanks to Pehr Heinrik Ling, considered the father of Swedish gymnastics.
His goal was to replicate the benefits of physical exercise through touch, by creating specific maneuvers aimed at restoring muscular and joint balance.
Swedish massage has thus become the basis of many bodywork approaches, including sports massage and modern physiotherapy.

Swedish massage primarily aims to correct muscular postures and to rid tissues of toxins.
It includes nine recognized maneuvers: effleurage, petrissage, pounage, friction, percussion, vibration, ébranements, drainage and joint work.

By bringing blood back towards the heart, these movements promote circulation and lymphatic return, improving recovery and flexibility.

The effects are both physical and nervous: deep relaxation, energy stimulation and support of the body's natural healing functions.

Swedish massage is suitable for anyone wishing to maintain their physical fitness or regain muscle relaxation.
It is recommended for active people, athletes and those suffering from chronic tension or accumulated fatigue.

indications: muscle tension, stress, fatigue, poor circulation, lack of flexibility.
Contraindications: fever (> 37,5 °C), infectious diseases, heart disorders, acute inflammations or open wounds.
If in doubt, medical advice is recommended before the massage.

Swedish massage is characterized by regular and fluid movements performed with oil to promote the gliding of the hands.
The client remains partially clothed and covered with sheets or towels to ensure comfort and privacy.

The session begins gently, gains in intensity, then ends in relaxation and calm.
The massage is given on a table, in a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

Finally, a period of rest allows the body to integrate the benefits of the treatment and regain a state of balance.
