What Is Western Massage? A Complete Understanding
Western Massage, also known as Swedish Massage therapy, is a scientifically designed body treatment that focuses on relieving muscular tension, improving blood circulation, and promoting physical and mental relaxation. Unlike traditional Eastern practices that revolve around energy balancing, Western Massage uses anatomical and physiological techniques to heal soft tissues and release deep muscle knots.
Core Western Massage techniques include:
- Effleurage – Long, gliding strokes to warm up tissues & increase blood flow
- Petrissage – Kneading & compression to loosen tight muscles
- Friction – Deeper pressure to break adhesions & eliminate stiffness
- Tapotement – Gentle rhythmic tapping to stimulate muscles
- Vibration – Shaking movements to relax whole-body tension
