"Hello my name is Jinilee Reavis and I'm a massage therapist here at Veronika's Color Salon and Spa and I'm here on behalf of Expert Village. Swedish massage is conformed of just 7 different techniques that they train you at school. Basically you use some of them. It is the kneading with the muscles. Just kind of breaking up the tissue and always in a massage you start off very light because if it is a new client they don't know your situation. They don't know your condition and if you talk about but talking and actually getting the massage are 2 different things. So we as a massage therapist do a light stretch, a light kneading to find out where the problem areas are. If you want just a relaxation massage we find the problem areas and acknowledge them to you to let you know if you want to come back later and get a problem solving deep tissuing massage we have that available. But it is to kind of map out the clients muscles to see where the problem area are and how we can benefit them. "
