Swedish Massage: What does it really mean?
Swedish Massage of massage was created at the turn of the
century by Henry Peter Ling in Sweden. It involves the use of kneading,
stroking, friction, tapping, and vibration and may provide relief from
stiffness, numbness, pain, constipation, and other health problems. The main
purpose of Swedish massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and
release toxins from the muscles. Other possible benefits include stimulation of
circulation, an increase in muscle tone, and a balance of the musculo-skeletal
systems. 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.
Swedish
massage is a relaxing and classic relaxation massage in which the therapist
applies long and stimulating strokes on the top muscle layers. The stimulation
of muscles will help to relax the mind and reduce tension. This massage also
includes a scalp massage. You can opt for a massage using aromatherapy
essential oils
