Project Description
Soothe your muscles & reduce stress
Swedish massage is the most well-known and widely practiced type of therapeutic massage. This type of massage focuses on muscle relaxation, targeting the superficial muscles rather than the connective tissues targeted in deep-tissue massage and increases blood circulation.
Benefits of Swedish Body Massage:
- Pain Relief
- Increases blood flow
- Rehabilitation for muscle injuries
- Increased flexibility
- Reduces stress
- Improved immune system
Pain Relief
If you have a motion restrictive condition like Sciatica or Osteoarthritis and suffering from chronic pain as a result, Swedish massage can be an effective method for managing that pain in a natural way.
Increases blood flow
Effleurage – a long, stroking motion in the direction of blood flow towards the heart – in order to open up your blood vessels and increase your blood flow. Increased blood flow means that your muscles are getting more nutrients and oxygen and your body is removing toxins more efficiently.
Rehabilitation for muscle injuries
Kneading and friction techniques are used to address any existing injuries, such as adhesions which occur when muscle tissues fuse together. Many people say that this technique, which relaxes layers of muscle, makes it feel as if the kinks have been worked out.
Increased flexibility
When your muscles are more relaxed, you’re able to experience a wider range of motion. A combination of Swedish massage and regular stretching eg yoga is a great way for anyone to avoid workout-related injuries and get the most out of their regular workout sessions.
Reduces stress
Swedish massages maximize relaxation. The combination of the hands-on attention and the environment should relax you, lowering the level of the stress hormone cortisol in your body. Lowering your stress level offers a great number of additional benefits, including reducing or eliminating tension headaches, giving you more energy, and allowing you to get a better nights sleep.
Improved immune system
One other great benefit of reducing your stress with this treatment is that the lower cortisol levels allow your immune system to grow stronger, meaning that you’re less likely to get ill.
