SWEDISH MASSAGE
Swedish Massage is one of the most common and effective forms of massage therapies. A wonderful combination of light to firm gliding strokes, integrated with stretching and manipulation of the joints, it is a process that promotes total relaxation and muscle tension release.
Benefits include:
Stress reduction
Many of us live demanding lives. Stress can manifest in the body with increased muscle tension and sometimes pain. Stress can manifest in the mind with increased worry or anxiety. Swedish Massage helps to clear the body and mind of unwanted responses to stress.
Increase flexibility
Swedish Massage will elongate the muscles, open the joints and decrease swelling, all of which will ease movement and increase flexibility.
Improve posture
Swedish Massage helps to ease the muscular holding that underlies postural imbalance.
Improve circulation
Massage improves your body’s ability to deliver fresh blood to muscles and organs.
Improve mood
Research shows increased serotonin and dopamine in massage recipients, improving their mood and feeling of emotional well-being.
Increase range in motion
Swedish Massage, incorporating stretching and range of motion techniques, will open and lubricate the joints for increased range and more fluid motion.
