Understanding Swedish Massage
What is Swedish Massage?
The main purpose of Swedish massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles. Swedish massage helps flush the tissues of harmful deposits such as lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes – improving recovery time from muscular strain.
Swedish massage also stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and pliable, and stimulates the skin and soothes the nervous system at the same time. Unlike deep tissue or sports massage, Swedish massage uses gentler pressure that is very sensitive to tender areas of your body, making it comfortable and soothing.
The Benefits
What are the benefits of Swedish Massage?
Swedish massage not only feels exceptionally good, but is relaxing and invigorating. Swedish massage helps the nerves, muscles, glands, circulation, and promotes our general health and wellbeing. As a treatment Swedish massage helps reduce stress, both emotional and physical, and is often suggested in a program for stress management.
Increases Oxygen Flow
Boosts blood circulation to deliver more oxygen throughout your body, flushing out harmful deposits like lactic acid and metabolic wastes.
Deep Relaxation
Soothes the nervous system and reduces both emotional and physical stress. Often recommended as part of stress management programmes.
Improves Flexibility
Stretches ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and pliable, improving your range of motion and reducing injury risk.
Swedish Massage vs Sports Massage
The treatment is very sensitive to pressure and takes into account the delicate or tender areas of your body, so it should be comfortable and soothing rather than the deeper sports massage. If you’re looking for gentle relaxation rather than intense therapeutic work, Swedish massage is the perfect choice for you.
