SWEDISH MASSAGE TECHNIQUES
Swedish massage technique focuses on manipulating soft tissue in your body by applying massage oils and performing various massage strokes as kneading, friction, stretching, bending, and tapping. Massage therapists will perform deep circular movements and joint mobilization which will warm up the muscle tissue, release tension, and break up muscle knots.
These techniques are meant to relax your body, stimulate nerve endings, increase blood flow, and work with the lymphatic system as well.
SWEDISH VS. DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
If you are looking for deeper pressure to get relief from chronic pain, deep tissue massage is a better choice. Deep tissue massage is best for muscle injuries and chronic muscle problems.
The art of healing comes from nature, not from the physician. Therefore the physician must start from nature, with an open mind.
