RELAXATION/SWEDISH MASSAGE
Relaxation/Swedish Massage is, as titled, a relaxing and invigorating massage using various manipulations to loosen tight muscles and promote well-being. The massage increases the oxygen flow in the blood and encourages the lymph to drain toxins from the muscles.
Some other benefits include shortening recovery time from muscular strain, increased circulation without increased heart load, stretching of ligaments and tendons, skin stimulation and soothing of the nervous system. It reduces both emotional and physical stress, and is suggested as part of a regular program for stress management.
The sequence of techniques usually used in a massge session include gliding strokes; kneading movements; circular pressures with the palms of hands, thumbs and/or fingertips; oscillatory movements that shake or vibrate the body; brisk hacking or tapping; and sometimes bending and stretching.
