Swedish massage is applied through several techniques for maximum benefits of the massage recipient. These techniques serve unique purposes at each stage of the massage session.
Petrissage
Petrissage technique is characterized by deeper, kneading motions. Essentially, the therapist rhythmically compresses your body’s soft tissues using their hands. In turn, your blood circulation will improve as your muscles stretch and loosen. Methods include: wringing, kneading, lifting, and rolling. Petrissage is ideal for individuals with injuries.Effleurage
A therapist uses this technique at the start and the end of the massage. It warms the body for the massage and soothes the muscles. This massage treatment involves light, circular, sliding strokes applied at varying pressure levels. This technique eases tension and loosens knots in the body.Vibration
Vibration technique is characterized by rhythmic vibration of the body area being massaged. In turn, your body becomes less tense and relaxes. Therapists can use their palms to shake your back’s muscles and skin. In smaller and more sensitive areas such as the face, the therapist can use fingers. This technique is ideal for use in body areas that have knots and large scars.Friction
In this technique, a massage therapist uses their thumb and fingers to rub the massage area. She may exert pressure in a linear or circular rhythm while working the massage area to realign and soften muscles. Friction works well with painful joints.Tapotement
The Tapotement technique involves drumming and tapping of muscles to encourage good bloodflow. Tapotement also stimulates endorphin production and aids in lymphatic drainage.
Swedish massage has numerous health benefits. Its techniques manipulate joints and muscles to alleviate pain. It does this by encouraging blood circulation and loosening up tight muscles. This allows you to unwind and relax. Swedish massage can also benefit your heart by enhancing blood circulation in your body.

In addition to this, Swedish massage can help lower the production of the stress-causing hormone, cortisol.Tension Reliever
Knots or adhesions cause excruciating pain in the body. This is because of the binding spots and tension around the knots. Swedish Massage helps to break down painful binding spots and alleviate tension around the knots.Enhances Flexibility

“I cannot recommend Vanessa enough! After I had my son, my body was a bit of a wreck. A friend recommended that I see her for a massage, and I was absolutely blown away. Vanessa listened to what had been bothering me and worked out so many tension issues I hadn’t even realized were causing problems. She is incredibly talented and so lovely. I send everyone I can her way because I know they will be in good hands. Thank you, Vanessa!”

“Vanessa brings a focus and an expertise to her work that I’ve rarely encountered in a massage therapist. Before the visit, my upper body was tight and my arm’s movement was limited. However, after an hour and a half with Vanessa my body felt light and tension free. Immediately I saw the change in my posture. Additionally, she took care of every detail of the session for me to fully enjoy it and relax. I highly recommend Vanessa to everyone.”

“Vanessa has magic hands! Both me and my husband had the opportunity to have a massage with Vanessa. I prefer a lighter Swedish massage and my husband loves deep tissue and she did an amazing job with both of us. She was professional, room was spotless and relaxing and she listens to her clients to ensure she is working on their trouble spots! Highly recommend!!!”

“Now for the best part…. the massage. AHHHHHHHHHHH! I have gotten massages globally and this was definitely in the top 10. Vanessa, my masseuse, was knowledgeable about my injury (i have a sore shoulder) and I walked out of there not only relaxed, but had more movement in my shoulder. A day later i am still feeling the positive effects of her work. (THANK YOU Vanessa!).”

“Vanessa is well, in my opinion the best. I have been a customer of hers for years and she was finally able to get me to try the cupping massage. I have to say that it has changed the game for me. I carry all of my stress in my upper back (mostly shoulders) and I always feel so much better after a session with Vanessa. She is simply the best – I highly recommend her at the risk of folks running in to see her and shutting me out of an appointment. Love you Vanessa!”

“Cannot speak highly enough about Vanessa and the 90 minute Untie the Knot. She is amazing. I am someone whose back seems like it’s made out of brick, and she knows exactly how to work things out. I feel like every time I go I learn about some new muscle I didn’t realize was sore until she pointed it out. And she will give advice on exercises and things you can do to help in between treatments. My favorite massage therapist in NYC.”

“Vanessa was very professional. Seemed like a medical massage. Very targeted towards problem areas and really listened to my concerns. She asked me if I wanted to avoid getting oil in my hair–how cool is that. She washed her hands after touching my feet–awesome. She even made me a mimosa. And I got to sit by a fire with my cocktail–the old location didn’t have THAT.”
