Amazing and one of a kind experience! I have met my match for massage therapist, as I too am a massage therapist and that makes me slightly more picky. Al is phenomenal and five stars across the board, comfort, informative, hands are ten star!! – Racheal S.

This was my first professional massage experience and I would highly recommend Massage and Unwind to anyone. Although I had never had a massage session in the past, the environment and staff were very welcoming. An overall extremely enjoyable experience. – Raymond D.

Why Is It Called Swedish Massage?

Swedish massage is considered the most basic form of massage. In fact, therapists in many other countries simply refer to it as a “classic” massage. So where does the “Swedish” come from?

Swedish massage may have gotten its name from a Swedish physiologist named Pehr Henrik Ling, who pioneered a series of gymnastic stretches known as the Swedish Movement System. That makes some sense, since the classic massage style is defined by its specific movements: long, gliding strokes, strategic kneading, and vibrating percussive motions.

However, some massage experts actually credit a Dutch practitioner with inventing the style, which would make its name a bit of a misnomer.
