Classical Swedish

Swedish massage is the single most commonly practiced type of massage in Western countries.  An important distinguishing characteristic of a Swedish massage is that the amount of pressure applied to different parts of the body is proportional to the size of the muscle group involved.  Thus, larger muscle groups, such as the back, receive more pressure, while smaller muscle groups, such as the hands and face, receive less pressure.  This variation is designed to promote both relaxation and healing.
