Classic Swedish Massage

Service Description

Swedish Classic Massage is the most widespread and well-known Western massage technique in the world, developed in the 19th century by Swedish physician Pehr Henrik Ling. It is based on five fundamental techniques—effleurage, petrissage, friction, tapotement, and vibration—that work synergistically to improve blood and lymphatic circulation, reduce muscle tension, and induce a state of deep relaxation. Our professional massage therapists adapt the technique to the client's specific needs, adjusting the pressure and speed of the movements based on the body's response. The treatment is performed on a heated massage table in a welcoming setting in the heart of Florence's Oltrarno neighborhood. Suitable for those experiencing massage for the first time, those seeking a comprehensive full-body treatment, and those suffering from widespread muscle tension. Just steps from Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi Gallery.
