For good reason, Swedish massage is one of the most popular types of massage in the world. Swedish massage emphasizes atmosphere, and when you think of a relaxing day at the spa, Swedish massage is the one that comes to mind. It was created by a sports medicine professor as a way to heal the body by increasing blood flow.
Swedish massage is the most common type of massage therapy in the Western world, and it incorporates a variety of techniques to relieve muscle tension and stress. Massage therapists use tried-and-true techniques like long strokes, circular motion, kneading, and tapping to provide a full-body treatment with numerous physical and mental health benefits.
Increase in Blood Flow
Swedish massage helps to broaden the blood vessels and increase the speed of blood flow toward the heart by using long movements, body taps, and light slaps. Increasing the blood flow rate increases the supply of oxygen to the body's muscles and aids in the detoxification process.
Body Flexibility
The more relaxed your muscles are, the greater their range of motion. When you combine Swedish massage with daily stretches, you can significantly reduce your chances of injuring yourself while working out. If you do this frequently, it is highly recommended that you get a Swedish massage every few weeks.
Damaged Muscles Rehabilitation
Massage movements can treat a variety of muscle injuries, including constriction and stickiness of the Fascia tissue, which wraps around the muscles. Many people who have this massage testify that it really helps calm their muscles, even after just one treatment.
Enhanced Immune Systems
One of the most significant advantages of lowering stress and cortisol levels in the body is that it strengthens the immune system, which means your body is more disease-resistant after the massage.
Reduced Stress
The relaxation that is created by the massage helps release not only the muscles but also the mind, especially when you take longer massage times, such as an hour to an hour and a half. Swedish massage in a relaxed environment lowers the level of the hormone cortisol in the body, which reduces headaches, gives the body more energy, and aids sleep.
