This is the most popular and widely practiced style of therapeutic massage that can be used for a variety of conditions. With a range of long, flowing stroke to short and quick tapotement (rhythmic percussion), Swedish is a great option for increasing blood circulation throughout the body. The overall soothing nature of this style greatly reduces stress and eases muscular tension. It’s a wonderful way to help rehabilitate muscular injuries and improve the immune system. Swedish focuses on the superficial muscles of the body, and helps increase flexibility of these muscles. It’s a great style to choose for overall relaxation.
