Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is a type of massage therapy that’s primarily known for its relaxation effects. With this technique, a massage therapist targets muscles with a combination of friction, gliding strokes, and kneading.

Swedish massage may also offer short-term relief from shoulder pain. As with neck pain relief, you may consider talking with your massage therapist about regular sessions to maximize the benefits to your shoulder area.

The possible relaxing effects of massage are promoted for stress management, but research also suggests that massage therapy may help alleviate anxiety.
