Swedish massage refers to a variety of techniques
specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to
them against deeper muscles and bones, rubbing in the same direction
as the flow of blood to the heart.
The main purpose of Swedish Massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood
and release toxins from muscles.
Benefits of a Swedish massage
Swedish massage shortens the recovery time from muscular strain
by flushing the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid and other
metabolic wastes. It increases circulation, 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, induces
relaxation and promotes health and well-being.
