Swedish massage uses a system of long gliding strokes, kneading and friction techniques on the more superficial layers of the muscles, generally in the direction of the blood flow toward the heart because there is an emphasis on improving blood flow to the soft tissues and is sometimes combined with active and passive movements of the joints.

 

Swedish treatments promote general relaxation, improve circulation, improve range of motion, and alleviate muscle tension.
