Get a Swedish massage in Sweden

“Alex does a quick intake and offers me a variety of techniques, but I’m here for classic Swedish Massage. He does a great job, and the environment is very relaxing. It’s always interesting to be in the role of the client, to have the uncertainty of little things like where to put your shoes or which layers of the linens to lay between. Massage is probably something every traveler could use before, during, and after a trip! I’m so grateful for the experience, and Alex is a real professional.”

“One thing strikes me as almost comical about the massage: how similar it is to what I was taught in massage school over twenty years prior in the middle of the USA. So many of the textbook elements of Swedish Massage are there. I recognize effleurage, petrissage, tapotement. These are the smooth, long strokes; the squeezy kneading, and the karate chop with the side of the hand you’ve maybe seen in movies. I sort of can’t believe that what I was taught in KCMO is really, legitimately, SWEDISH MASSAGE. But there is so much I recognize in this massage. We really DO learn a similar technique.”
