This treatment was developed in Sweden in 1830 by Pehr Henrik Ling, an expert in human anatomy and physiology. Ling combined his own medical knowledge with the massage techniques he learned during a journey to China.
The Swedish massage quickly gained popularity worldwide thanks to its numerous health and wellness benefits.
This therapy is performed using the hands as the main tool, applying a combination of techniques including gliding (effleurage), kneading (petrissage), vibration, percussion (tapotement), and friction.
