A system of therapeutic massage and exercise for the muscles and joints, developed in Sweden in the 19th century.  A Swedish massage session is performed with the client lying on a massage table while the therapist manipulates their muscle tissue with a variety of strokes.   It provides a general sense of relaxation, promotes a feeling of healing, and reduces pain.
