Swedish massage refers to a collection of techniques designed primarily to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones, and gently rubbing in the same direction as the flow of the blood returning to the heart. We use all four massage heads to replicate a palm style massage. Palm or forearm massages, with long strokes, are generally used for Swedish style massages. A Swedish massage is good for loosening up muscles and stimulating blood flow, but is not meant to stimulate individual acupoints the way a Shi-Atsu massage can.
