What is Swedish Massage Therapy?
Swedish massage therapy is the most well-known and widely practiced type of therapeutic massage—and for good reason. This type of massage focuses on muscle relaxation, targeting superficial muscles (rather than the connective tissues targeted in deep-tissue massage) and increasing blood circulation.
Wondering if you should request a reservation for a Swedish massage? Check out some of the benefits below to learn why a Swedish massage might be a great choice for you.
Pain Management
If you have a condition like sciatica or osteoarthritis and are suffering from chronic pain as a result, Swedish massage can be an effective method for managing that pain in a natural way. Notify your massage therapist about your pain points, he or she can target those areas and use a stroking motion to improve local circulation and reduce muscle tension.
Increased Blood Flow
Your Swedish Massage Therapist should use 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 that your body is removing toxins more efficiently.
Rehabilitation for Muscle Injuries
Your Therapist should also rely on kneading and friction 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 Massage Therapist is “working out the kinks.”
Improved Mental and Physical Performance
Swedish massage leaves you more than feeling nice and relaxed at the end. It can boost your mental and physical wellbeing too. Higher blood and oxygen circulation allows your muscles to repair faster, while you’ll mentally have much less fatigue throughout the day. You’ll find yourself being able to participate in more of the physical activities you enjoy most and have better stamina to endure periods of intense training.
Increased Flexibility
Reduced Stress
Swedish massages are meant to maximize relaxation—you’ll be on a massage table, in a peaceful environment, with a professional spending an extended time (between 60 – 120 minutes) giving you a massage. 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 surprising number of additional benefits, including reducing or eliminating tension headaches, giving you more energy, and allowing you to get a better night’s sleep.
Improved Immune System
One other great benefit of reducing your stress with a nice massage like this is that the lower cortisol levels allow your immune system to grow stronger, meaning that you’re less likely to get sick and can spend more time doing the things you enjoy.
Rejuvenate Your Appearance
What Makes a Swedish Massage Different?
This type of massage relies on specific percussive movements and deliberate movements such as a long smooth stroke using one or both hands, both of which set it apart from other types of massage.
For example, a deep tissue massage relies more on using the hands, arms, and elbows to achieve the desired result. Unlike hot stone massage, which uses heated stones to help prep the muscles, a Swedish massage therapist incorporates gentle calming movements.
It is no secret that many people opt for a massage to help them relax. Swedish massages are a great way to unwind and de-stress, which can be accomplished early on in the session thanks to a tried and true technique that promotes relaxation.
A typical Swedish massage includes techniques such as circular pressure that is applied by the palms and the hands as well as tapping, stretching, and bending. If you feel like you need a bit more or less pressure during your session, don’t be afraid to speak up.
It is this open communication between you and your massage therapist that allows for you to feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible.
Easy to Relax and Unwind
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that this type of massage is great for relaxing and unwinding, but it can also help to promote healing. This is because the specific techniques and movements that are done during the massage help to increase the amount of oxygen that is in the blood.
At the same time, the number of toxins in the muscles is greatly diminished. By the end of the session, you should notice an improvement in your circulation and flexibility as well.
If you haven’t yet been persuaded to make an appointment with your massage therapist as soon as possible, the thought of having better skin after your session should be enough for you to pick up the phone and make an appointment.
A Swedish massage stimulates the skin as blood flow to the skin is increased. This increased blood flow leads to many benefits.
For example, it helps to keep the surface of the skin soft and smooth. The surface of the skin will even become more pliable during the session.
How Do We Approach a Swedish Massage Differently?
Swedish massage is a great way to treat yourself—but it’s also a lot more than that. The physical and mental health benefits of a Swedish massage make it a great option for those new to massage or someone looking for a complete massage experience.
Our therapists can also combine swedish massage with aromatherapy to relieve stress and help our clients sleep better at night. Therefore, swedish massage coupled with aromatherapy can help treat insomnia and provide relief.
