Swedish massage, one of the most commonly taught and well-known massage techniques involves five basic strokes, all flowing toward the heart. Therapists use a combination of kneading, rolling, vibrational, percussive and tapping movements with the application of oil to reduce friction on the skin. The many benefits of Swedish massage may include generalized relaxation, improved circulation, dissolution of scar tissue, episodes of pain and disability in patients.
