It has been found to be a helpful adjunct therapy for many types of injuries and painful conditions. Massage therapy can use a range of different techniques to produce different effects, which makes it a valuable therapy for many types of health problems.
Swedish Massage
One of the most commonly used massage techniques, Swedish massage, uses gentle pressure and variety of strokes, such as kneading, stroking, circular movements, and tapping for relief of tension and an energized feeling.
