Therapeutic massage
Swedish massage
"Swedish massage is superficial and uses deep stimulating movements, stroking, rubbing, kneading. Applied on the areas of the skin and of subcutaneous connective tissue muscles.Main effects are increased blood flow, improved tissue metabolism, and perhaps the most significant effect is the relaxation of the muscles, releasing painful muscle spasms, muscle lumps, increasing the flexibility of the muscles and making muscle movements painless by thorough rubbing and kneading of the muscles."
