After almost two centuries passed, this type of technique has been around since the eighteen fifties. Swedish massage maryland takes a peek at the knows and not so knows of this type of technique. Because of its rejuvenating effects it is a worthwhile practice to commit to on a weekly basis.

A Swedish fencing instructor named Per Henrik Ling developed this form of massage in the early eighteen hundreds. He developed it to treat injuries on the elbow with a percussion type manipulation. Later on in the eighteen hundreds, the technique was brought to the United States by Dr. Charles and Dr. George Taylor.

The main work was targeted at treating the superficial layer of muscle groups as well as individual types. This was accomplished by using the fingers, forearms and even elbows. Each of these body parts are used to achieve a different result. The fingers of the hands are used for light work whilst the elbows are used for deeper manipulation.

Everybody has different stress levels of the body which determines how deep a therapist can work. The process usually starts off with light work until the therapist can ascertain just how stressed and sore the body is before starting on heavier work. By sense of touch the therapist can determine exactly how deep they can work.

Hot stones are also used in conjunction with essential oils which the latter are primarily used by Aromatherapists.
