What is Swedish Massage?

Swedish massage is a traditional massage therapy technique that involves long, flowing strokes, kneading, and circular movements applied with varying pressure. The primary goal is to promote relaxation, improve circulation, alleviate tension, and enhance overall well-being. Unlike deep tissue massage, which targets deeper layers of muscle tissue, Swedish massage focuses on the superficial layers to induce a state of deep relaxation.
