Often does it happen when you get out of the office
and feel stiff and stressed out. Everyone can benefit from a therapeutic massage
treatment such as Swedish massage and can also work as a preventive measure to maintain
good health or to help with a specific problem. Aside from the pampering
experience, you can certainly feel the benefits that could go deeper; together
with a proper diet and regular exercise, massage therapy helps various parts of
the system.
Swedish massage has been very effective at
relieving anxiety and is often used to help alleviate the symptoms of stress
and depression. Swedish massage is based
on the Western concepts and techniques, as opposed to energy work on sen lines
in Asian massage therapy. Swedish massage is done at least 50-60 minutes and
consists of five types of moves. Before
the therapist does the procedure, he/ she should ask about any injuries or
other conditions that he or she should know about. Things you would want to tell
a therapist include areas of tightness or pain; also, allergies, and conditions
like pregnancy. Another factor to be
considered is the nudity; making a client comfortable enough as you try to gain
your trust will help a lot on both sides. A comfortable client becomes
cooperative, making it easier for the massage therapist to work.
Effleurage, the first and common technique used in Swedish
massage is done by making long and gliding strokes along the body. The rubbing
and pushing of the muscles help you relax and reduce tension and stress levels
as well. It has many other health benefits too; such as increasing circulation
of blood flow to the heart and brain. Another is its effect to the upper back,
neck, and shoulders. The second technique is the petrissage. It is simply the
technique that is much similar to
kneading of dough. The tapotement, which is like a gentle pounding of the body
like the motion you are drumming, is another technique. There are several ways
the drumming technique is done, either at a slapping, chopping or the cupping
of your hand. Vibration, the rapid
shaking of the body helps in loosening tension as well. Lastly, friction, the
most important together with the type of massage oil is used in Swedish massage
to complete the procedure.
So if fatigue starts to get in the way, a Swedish
massage will help you get through the day.
