Swedish Massage
This is the classic Western form of massage, from which most modern types derive. These techniques include long gliding strokes, kneading, friction, percussive and vibration on the more superficial layers of muscles, combined with active and passive movements of the joints. Massage is effective for almost any conditions and is used primarily for full body sessions but especially to improve circulation, relieve muscle tention, back and neck pain, to promote general relaxation and well being and decrease stress. |
