Swedish Massage
This classic style will combine various techniques to improve circulation, promote better sleep, reduce anxiety, and create an overall sense of well being.
What is Swedish Massage?
Swedish Massage is a relaxing and flowing massage that focuses on the superficial muscles, helping to increase the flow of oxygen in the blood and release toxins from the muscles. The five basic strokes of a Swedish massage are sliding or gliding, kneading, rhythmic tapping, friction or cross fiber and vibration/shaking. All strokes must travel towards the heart, this supports the movement of fluid back to general circulation. Swedish massage is helpful in reducing stress, joint stiffness, and improving poor circulation.
How can Swedish Massage help you?
Swedish massage is exceptionally beneficial for:
1. Improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension
The strokes of Swedish massage replicate the movements of the circulatory system. By performing the strokes toward the heart, Swedish massage drains metabolic waste from the limbs of the body.
2. Dissolution of Adhesions
The Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP) notes that Swedish massage can break up muscle adhesions and help promote the healthy healing of scar tissue. Swedish Massage uses strokes like cross-fiber friction to work out the kinks that can accompany injured muscles. These strokes help get rid of scar tissue and return the muscles to their normal, healthy state.
3. Relieving stress
The strokes of the massage relax individual muscles, while the overall experience eliminates mental stress.
4. Relieving pain
Swedish sessions can target specific areas of pain like a sprained ankle, or they can be used to help manage the chronic pain that comes with conditions like arthritis. By using strokes that improve circulation and increase body-wide relaxation, the massage therapist can help make many painful conditions more bearable.
