Since classic massage has its roots in ancient Egypt and the ancient high cultures of Asia, it is considered one of the oldest medical treatment methods in human history.
The origins of classic massage can be traced back to the third millennium BC, when massage techniques were described in Chinese literature.
Knowledge of classic massage and its soothing effects was lost around the time of Christ’s birth, before classic massage was rediscovered in the late Middle Ages. The Dutch physician Johann Georg Mezger was able to prove that classic massage has medical effects.
Classic massage was incorporated into the canon of medical treatment methods by the orthopaedist Prof. Dr. Hoffa towards the end of the 19th century.

Classic massage uses the following techniques:
Classic massage is usually a combination of all techniques. It is used to prevent and treat muscle hardening. Classic massage is also used for tension, osteoarthritis and rheumatic complaints.
Classic massage, also known as Swedish massage, is a massage technique that ideally combines relaxation and health benefits.
A classic massage relieves tension, eases pain and releases blockages. While anti-cellulite massages, for example, have a drainage effect that stimulates cells to remove stored water, classic massage addresses the body directly.
You can feel an effect immediately with a classic massage. Unlike foot reflexology massages, the pressure of a classic massage works instantly on the specific area of the body. You will therefore notice an improvement in your physical condition right away.
Our classic massage in Stuttgart can also make a significant and effective contribution to mental relaxation. Unlike our aroma oil massages, however, our professional massage team focuses exclusively on your body during the classic massage.
Emotional relaxation is a positive side effect of a classic massage in Stuttgart that you will soon come to appreciate. By releasing physical blockages, small knots in muscles and tissue, or blockages in the joints, commonly affected areas such as the back, shoulders, neck and legs become supple again.
Once the tension has been released, not only will your movements become smoother again, but so will the tissue in the massaged area. This physically soothing effect triggers an immediate mental response.
Without tension and pain, the brain no longer receives disruptive stimuli, which is why, after just the first strokes, you can soon also mentally surrender completely to the touch.
Taken on its own, the term “massage” seems to come from French. Nevertheless, there are also links that trace the etymology of massage back to Arabic and Greek.
As a form of therapy, massage originated in the Far East. It was first documented in China. However, there are indications that massage is actually a healing technique developed in India and that it made its way to Thailand, China and the entire Asian hemisphere through missionary Buddhist monks.
In our region, classic massage came to us via Hippocrates, the famous Greek healer in whose honour physicians still take an oath today. Between antiquity and the Middle Ages, knowledge of classic massage in our latitudes was lost again and was revived in the 15th century by the equally renowned physician Paracelsus.
However, classic massage was only truly anchored in therapeutic healing by the Frenchman Ambroise Paré. It is therefore no wonder that we use the French term massage for this rehabilitation of body and mind.
However, all of this still does not explain why classic massage is also called Swedish massage. After all, Scandinavians had not yet played any role in establishing classic massage in Western medicine. It would take another two centuries before classic massage became Swedish massage.
That was when the Swede Pehr Link founded his Central Institute in Stockholm. He was the first to clearly name and classify massage techniques into rubbing, pressing, kneading and chopping.
Pehr Link’s definitions have hardly changed at all into modern times.
In fact, the technique behind a classic massage still involves stroking and rubbing, kneading and rolling, tapping and chopping, as the Swede described back then. And that is why classic massage in Stuttgart still works today according to the basic principles of his teachings.
Rubbing primarily uses thumbs, fingertips and the heel of the hand. These firm, circular movements release hardening and tension in the muscles during a classic massage in Stuttgart.
This is complemented by stroking movements, which also loosen the muscles, while additionally stimulating lymph function and blood flow. Kneading, which is an important part of classic massage in Stuttgart, also relaxes the muscles by pushing them against each other. Tension no longer stands a chance.
And to ensure it stays that way, classic massage in Stuttgart also uses tapping techniques that specifically improve blood flow in the muscles. This also stimulates the nervous system and flushes deposits and toxins out of the tissue and muscles.
Classic massage in Stuttgart works on the principle: A relaxed body is home to a relaxed mind.
And so, alongside physical tension, mental strain and stress are also relieved at the same time through a classic massage in Stuttgart.
Classic massage in Stuttgart works best when it is applied regularly.
