The
term "Swedish Massage" refers to a variety of techniques
specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to
them against deeper muscles and bones, and rubbing in the same
direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart.
The
main purpose of Swedish massage is to increase the oxygen flow
in the blood and release toxins frome the muscles.
