swedish massage

Swedish massage is a type of massage therapy that is designed to promote relaxation and reduce muscle tension. It typically involves kneading, percussion, vibration, tapping and rolling movements. It is often used to help relieve stress and improve overall health. Swedish massage is generally gentler than deep tissue massage and is better suited for people who are looking for relaxation and tension relief. 1 2 It is generally safe for pregnant women, although alternatives such as prenatal massage may be more suitable. 3
