What Is Light Touch / Swedish Massage?
Swedish massage uses long, flowing strokes, light kneading, and gentle rhythmic movements to reduce muscle tightness and support the body’s natural healing response. Unlike deep tissue work, this technique is focused on comfort and stress reduction rather than intense pressure on knots or adhesions.

- Feel mentally drained or under high stress
