What is Swedish Massage?
Swedish massage is a therapeutic and relaxing massage technique that uses a variety of strokes and movements to enhance blood flow, ease muscle tension, and promote relaxation. It is often used to reduce stress and improve overall health.

Techniques Used in Swedish Massage
1. Effleurage: Long, gliding strokes that are usually performed with the palms, fingertips, or thumbs. These strokes are generally gentle and help warm up the muscles, increase blood flow, and prepare the body for deeper work.
2. Petrissage: Kneading, squeezing, and rolling techniques that help to release tension and improve circulation in the deeper layers of muscle tissue.
3. Friction: Deep, circular movements applied with the thumb or fingertips to work on deeper muscle layers and break down adhesions and knots.
4. Tapotement: Rhythmic tapping, chopping, or pounding movements. This technique can be invigorating and is often used to stimulate the nervous system and increase blood flow.
5. Vibration: Rapid shaking or trembling movements that help to loosen muscles and stimulate circulation.
