Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.

Using Swedish massage techniques like effleurage and petrissage, the approach varies significantly from one therapist to another but only by the use of massage techniques and tools like dry brushes, wood therapy, or even cavitation devices. But let’s be clear—this is not true manual lymphatic drainage for lymphedema patients. Those who have recently had gastric surgery (within the past 6 months), cancer survivors, or plastic surgery patients should not get this type of lymphatic work.
