Swedish massage and relaxation massage are often used interchangeably. The truth is, any type of massage can be relaxing, when applied with that intent. Swedish massage is often what is taught in massage schools as the "basic" massage, and it is a good solid foundation for other styles of massage.
In general, a swedish massage includes long gliding strokes directed toward the heart, and may also include other strokes such as petrissage (kneading), friction, vibration, and tapotement (percussion movements). Gentle stretching may also be included. A Swedish massage can vary in terms of pressure, and should always be modified to your preferences.
Megan, Jane, and Shelli are available for relaxation massage.
