Swedish Massage is the most common type of massage performed.  It is usually performed using either oil or lotion.  Its main purpose is for relaxation, to increase circulation, and to increase range of motion.  The more superficial muscles are attended to in Swedish.  This type of massage uses long strokes for applying oil or lotion, kneading, rocking, and moving of the joints of the body.  It is typically performed on a table.  The client is covered or draped at all times, except for the area being worked on.
