Swedish massage is based on the Western concepts of anatomy and physiology as opposed to energy work that is more common in Asian-style massage. The development of Swedish massage is often inaccurately credited to Per Henrik Ling, though the Dutch practitioner Johann Georg Mezger applied the French terms to name the five basic strokes of the technique. The term "Swedish" massage is actually only recognized in Hungary, Dutch and English speaking countries. Elsewhere (including Sweden) the style is referred to as "classic massage". Swedish massage is the most common and best-known type of massage in the West and it is highly recommended by the NHS in the United Kingdom.

There are five different types of strokes that are incorporated with Swedish massage:
Before the massage, the therapist should ask you about any injuries or other conditions that he or she should know about. Things you would want tell a therapist include areas of tightness or pain, allergies, and conditions like pregnancy. You can also tell them up front if you have a preference for light or firm pressure. Most people get a 30 or 60-minute Swedish or deep tissue massage, but 60 or 90-minutes gives the therapist more time to work the muscle tissue and achieve results.
If it's your first time at the spa or you don't get massage very often, Swedish massage is the perfect massage for you. It is one of the most popular treatments in London and the UK in 2024. With Swedish massages, a massage therapist will have to use oils in order for the treatment to be effective.
