What Is Swedish Massage?

Swedish massage consists of using long flowing strokes, rubbing, kneading and joint movements of the soft tissues of the body. The many benefits of our relaxation massage may include generalized relaxation, dissolution of scar tissue adhesions and improved circulation, which can speed healing and reduce swelling from an injury. Swedish style relaxation massage increases the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles. It increases circulation without increasing the heart load. It stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and pliable. Swedish style relaxation massage helps lower the heart rate and lower blood pressure. Swedish massage also also stimulates the skin and nervous systems and soothes the nerves themselves at the same time. It reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is suggested in a regular program for stress management. It also has many medicinal uses. Swedish massage is good for lowering stress which in turn is good for the immune system. Swedish massage is a safe and effective treatment which benefits people of all ages and conditions.
