What are the specific techniques used in Swedish massage that promote better sleep?

In Swedish massage, specific techniques are employed to promote better sleep at Tattva Wellness Spa. These include long, flowing strokes known as effleurage, which help relax the body and release muscle tension. Gentle kneading motions, called petrissage, are used to alleviate muscle knots and promote deeper relaxation.

Swedish massage also utilizes rhythmic tapping or percussive movements, known as tapotement, which can stimulate nerve endings and increase blood flow, aiding in overall relaxation and rejuvenation.

Another technique used is friction, where pressure is applied to specific areas to release muscle adhesions and improve circulation. This technique helps to reduce pain and stiffness, promoting a more comfortable sleep experience.
