Summary: Massage is the act of applying pressure and motion to the soft tissues of the body like muscles tissue and joints. This helps with pain and managing stress as well as improving circulation. Typically the client is partially if not fully undressed and a towel is draped over the parts of the body that are not being massaged. A Swedish massage is made up of long slow strokes that are specifically designed to improve circulation. It was actually designed by Dutch practitioner Johann Georg Mezger and began being referred to as Swedish by mistake.
