Swedish Massage is your classic example, and probably what you perceive a massage to be. Using the three basic flowing strokes of Effleurage, Petrissage & Tapotement. Effleurage is the light flowing strokes that glide across the skin, Petrissage is slightly deeper and works on the muscles, and Tapotement is the ‘chopping’ that you see on TV, this style of massage is prefect for unwinding after that frantic week.
