Swedish Massage is the classic type and probably what you perceive a massage to be. Massages in this category employ three basic flowing strokes of Effleurage, Petrissage and Tapotement. Effleurage is the light flowing strokes that glide across the skin, Petrissage is slightly deeper and works on the muscles, and Tapotement is a light chopping. This style of massage is prefect for unwinding after a frantic week.
