What is Swedish Massage anyway?

Swedish massage is a therapeutic massage technique that involves using a series of gliding, kneading, tapping, and stretching motions. It aims to promote relaxation, reduce muscle tension, and improve blood circulation. Developed by Swedish physiologist Per Henrik Ling, this approach is characterized by its systematic and flowing movements. Swedish massage is generally a milder pressure technique, commonly sought after for its ability to provide both physical relief and mental relaxation.
