Swedish massage is a classic massage technique that involves kneading, long strokes, and circular movements on the superficial layers of muscles, usually in the direction of blood flow towards the heart. It aims to promote relaxation, increase circulation, reduce muscle tension, and improve overall well-being. This type of massage typically uses oil or lotion to facilitate smooth, gliding movements over the body.

Important to note that Swedish Massage is a form of relaxation massage. It differs from deep tissue and sports massage, which targets deeper layers of muscle tissue and fascia to address specific issues like chronic pain or muscle tightness.
