Swedish massage uses specific techniques that involve the application of long gliding strokes, friction, kneading, and tapping movements on the soft tissues of the body. This massage focuses on muscle relaxation, targeting superficial muscles and problem areas (rather than the connective tissues targeted in deep-tissue massage). The combination of the hands-on attention will relax and lower the levels of the stress hormone cortisol in your body, which will give you more energy, and allowing you to get a better night’s sleep.
