Swedish massage is one of the best massage techniques for people with sore muscles. Busy professionals in need of relaxation or stress relief also greatly benefit from the Swedish massage techniques we offer in Midtown Manhattan.
Swedish style massages were first available in America in the 1950s. The style serves as the foundation for other types of Western massage, including sports massage, deep tissue massage and aromatherapy massage. During your YeloSPa NYC Swedish massage session, your massage therapist will use oil to facilitate smooth, gliding strokes called effleurage. Other classic Swedish massage techniques include kneading, friction, and stretching. Swedish massage uses firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension and create other health benefits.
