Swedish massage was produced
in the 1700s by Swedish doctor Per Henrik Ling,
perhaps through the investigation of Chinese combative
techniques and tuina, a hands-on body treatment intended to reestablish harmony
in the body. The six essential strokes
utilized as a part of Swedish massage incorporate effleurage
(coasting/sliding), petrissage (working), contact (cross-fiber movement),
vibration, footing, and tapotement (percussion or tapping). The basic role of
Swedish massage is to expand the blood's oxygen stream and aid poison expulsion from the muscles.
