Swedish Massage

A Swedish body massage treatment involves a full body massage that is at the same time invigorating, yet relaxing. It aims to treat all body systems and mind, and to reach all levels of body tissue; from skin to muscle to bone.

This type of massage is very good for those who have aching limbs from sport or bad posture especially associated with sitting at a desk, as it usually leaves clients feeling loose and relaxed, having released tension. It is also very effective for those who are suffering with stress and tension, either emotional or physical.

Purpose of 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 shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. It increases circulation without increasing heart load. It stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and pliable. Swedish massage also stimulates the skin and nervous system and soothes the nerves themselves at the same time. It reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is suggested in a regular program for stress management.

Benefits of Swedish Massage

Swedish massage has many physical and psychological benefits, including:

• Stimulates lymphatic system, removing toxins from the body; especially good after sport
• Increased circulation, providing fresh oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body
• Drains away any stress and tension from the muscles, inducing relaxation
• Stimulates the nervous system, again helping to decrease stress and built up tension, whilst also increasing energy
• Stimulate the skin and increase its tone.
