Relaxing massage is a gentle Swedish massage that uses smooth gliding strokes to help you to relax. The massage therapist will move at a slower pace and use lighter pressure. In a relaxing massage, there is less emphasis on working out chronic underlying muscle tension the adhesions or “knots “and muscle restrictions in the muscle tissue. Deep tissue work can be uncomfortable and during a relaxing massage you just want to drift and feel good. In a relaxing massage the therapist won’t push your limits in order to get the muscle to release. You might even fall asleep. It’s a good choice for someone who is getting a massage for the first time or someone who just wants to bring their stress level down.
