What is a Swedish Massage?
Swedish Massage is the type of massage most people think of when they think of a massage. It is the most commonly offered massage technique and specializes in a firm or lighter pressure on the muscles. It consists of specific kind of strokes including sliding movements, kneading movements, rubbing movements and percussion techniques. Long yet gliding strokes are common. It is soothing to the body and mind and is the perfect massage for enhancing recovery after physical exertion or exercise to help eliminate toxins in the muscles.
Is Swedish Massage Right for You?
Swedish massage is mainly used to increase blood flow as it eases tensions in the muscles and improves flexibility. It is stimulating to the skin and helps reduce all kinds of body stresses including emotional and physical stress. This kind of massage technique also stimulates the nervous system. Swedish massage targets the build-up of different body toxins and metabolic waste. This massage is extremely therapeutic because it facilitates bringing the blood and lymph fluids back to the body’s core from the extremities.
