What are a relaxation massage and a Swedish massage?
1. Swedish Massage
Swedish massage includes light and soft rhythmic or tapping and long strokes on muscles. It also includes kneading on the body. This mainly focuses on the upper layers of muscles and the passive movement of joints. This will energize your body and make you relaxed. Use this to relieve tension from your body and pain from an injury.
Originally the term Swedish massage was introduced into the United States. Swedish massage usually has these strokes;
Petrissage: kneading and lifting of muscles. Slow, soft, and light strokes for relaxation and fast-deep pressure for improved circulation.
Effleurage: Long gliding strokes, slow or fast based on intention (relaxation/circulation)
Friction: Specific and more intended rubbing motion, deeper pressure to release tension and adhesion from muscle tissues.
Tapotement: Strokes that will affect muscle tissues and remove the broken tissues
Vibration: Vibrating movement on specific muscles.
