Swedish massage incorporates several specific techniques that combine to give you a relaxing and beneficial experience. They include:
- Kneading the muscle to work deeper into the affected area
- Long, sweeping strokes over a muscle that help to break up trigger points
- Rhythmically tapping an area with cupped hands to facilitate relaxation
- Friction or rubbing a muscle group rapidly with the palms to stimulate warmth
- Vibration or using the fingertips to quickly shake a muscle back and forth to loosen the area
If you’ve ever been to a spa to enjoy the relaxing benefits of a Swedish massage, you’re familiar with this pattern.
If you haven’t, you now have an opportunity to enjoy it right at your home from any of your preferred masseuse.
