This is your everyday classic massage, and is the base point for every other variation of massages that exist. 

It uses a combination of light and firm pressure, and long and short strokes, as well as other techniques, such as kneading.

This massage focuses on massaging the superficial layers of the body, and pressure shouldn’t reach further than what is known as the fascia (connective tissue that surrounds all your organs, bones, tendons, ligaments and muscles).

Swedish massage is a great all-round relaxing treatment.
