Swedish massage is the most commonly offered and best known type of massage. It was
developed by a Swedish physiologist, Henri Peter Ling at the University of Stockholm in 1812. It
uses a firm but gentle pressure to improve the circulation, ease muscle aches and tension,
improve flexibility and create relaxation. Swedish massage employs five different movements
long gliding strokes, kneading of individual muscles, friction, hacking or tapping, and vibration.
The therapist generally uses massage oil to facilitate making long, smooth strokes over the body.

The use of hot stones for healing dates back to ancient times. Hot stone massage is a variation
on classic massage therapy. The flat stones are usually heated and placed on key points on the
body. The hot stones are usually made of basalt, a type of rock that is rich in iron, so they
retain heat. The massage therapist may also hold the stones and use them to massage certain
areas of the body. People may get hot stone massage for a variety of health conditions, back
pain and aches, poor circulation, arthritis, anxiety and depression.
