Swedish massage is the manual manipulation of the soft tissues of the human body.
The main purpose of Swedish massage is usually for the relief of body pain or stress.
The principle behind Swedish massage therapy movements is based on the fact that our muscles react to our thoughts and feelings.
Therefore, if we are stressed out, our muscles tighten up, producing tension in other areas as well, such as our shoulders, neck, back, legs, and feet.
A common way to relieve tension is to use massage therapy movements that focus on releasing the tightness through massage strokes.
This is a very effective way to release tension from a tensed muscle tissue.
