Transitioning between body parts:
• Transition smoothly between techniques and body parts, maintaining constant contact with the client’s skin.
• Move from the back to the shoulders, then down the arms, before proceeding to the legs and feet. Finish
with the neck and head for a complete full-body experience.
Classical massage additions:
Classical massage incorporates the above swedish techniques with a focus on more specific ailments or muscular
tensions, adapting the pressure and technique to the client’s needs.
Additional techniques:
• Cross-fiber techniques: apply pressure across the muscle fibers rather than along them to address specific
tension areas.
• Stretching: gently stretch limbs and muscles to improve flexibility and relaxation.
• Joint mobilization: gently move and rotate joints to increase range of motion.
Finishing the massage:
• Cool down: end with light effleurage strokes to calm the nervous system.

• Hydrate: encourage the client to drink water to hydrate and help flush out toxins.
• Rest: allow the client a moment to rest and acclimate before getting up.
This guide offers a foundation for delivering a comprehensive full body swedish and classical massage. Adapt the
pressure, rhythm, and focus areas according to the client’s feedback and specific needs, ensuring a personalized
and therapeutic experience.
