Swedish massage, a popular and widely embraced massage technique, offers a holistic approach to wellness by emphasizing relaxation, muscle tension reduction, and overall enhancement of well-being. This soothing modality is characterized by a skillful combination of various strokes and techniques, each serving a unique purpose:

Effleurage: With gentle and flowing movements, it promotes deep relaxation.
