Swedish massage is a popular form of massage therapy that
utilizes a variety of techniques to relax muscles, improve
circulation, and reduce stress. It involves a combination of long, gliding strokes, kneading, rubbing, tapping, and vibration. This massage is known for its ability to soothe muscles, ease tension, and improve overall well-being. 

Techniques:

Swedish massage employs a range of techniques, including:

• Effleurage: Long, gliding strokes that can be either light or firm, used to warm up the muscles and assess muscle tone. 
• Petrissage: Kneading and squeezing of the muscles to release tension. 
• Friction: Short, fast strokes that create heat and promote circulation. 
• Tapotement: Tapping, slapping, or hacking to relax tense muscles. 
• Vibration: Rapid, superficial movements of the fingertips or palms. 

Benefits:

Swedish massage is known to:

• Improve circulation. 
• Reduce muscle tension and pain. 
• Promote relaxation and reduce stress. 
• Improve lymphatic drainage. 
• Boost mood. 

Difference from other massage types:

While Swedish massage focuses on relaxation and muscle soothing, other types like deep tissue massage use deeper, more focused pressure to address deeper muscle knots and pain. 

Customization:

Therapists can adjust the pressure and techniques to suit the individual's needs and comfort level. 

Expectations:

You may undress to your comfort level (usually partially unclothed with oils) and communicate with your therapist about pressure preferences. If you wish to be naked a large towel is provided for total privacy.
