Relaxing (Swedish) Massage
Relaxing massage and Swedish massage are both popular types of massage therapy that aim to provide relaxation, stress relief, and overall well-being. The key difference between Swedish massage and a relaxing massage is that Swedish massage is a specific style of massage that follows a structured sequence of techniques. On the other hand, a relaxing massage can incorporate a variety of techniques based on the client’s preferences and the therapist’s expertise. In summary, while Swedish massage is a specific style of massage with its well-defined techniques, a relaxing massage is a more generalized term used to describe a massage session that aims to create a sense of relaxation and tranquility. It’s important to communicate with your massage therapist about your preferences and any specific areas of concern so that they can tailor the massage to your needs.
