What is Swedish massage?

Swedish massage is a type of massage therapy that uses long, gliding strokes, kneading, friction, tapping, and vibration to manipulate the soft tissues of the body. It is one of the most popular types of massage, and is often used to relieve stress, improve circulation, and promote relaxation.

Swedish massage is typically performed on a massage table with the client lying face down. The massage therapist will apply lotion or oil to the client's skin and begin with long, gliding strokes down the back. The therapist will then use kneading, friction, tapping, and vibration to work on the muscles of the back, neck, shoulders, arms, legs, and feet.

The pressure and intensity of the massage can be adjusted to the client's comfort level. Swedish massage is generally considered to be safe for most people, but it is important to avoid massage if you have any open wounds or infections.
