Rejuvenate Yourself But Also Relieve Chronic Pain With A Fun, Relaxing Swedish Massage

If you're like most people, the minute you hear the word "massage"

, your mind immediately registers Swedish massage therapy. This form of massage technique is probably the most popular form of massage therapy available today. Swedish massage therapy involves slightly longer, gliding strokes than traditional massage techniques, and is administered in the same direction as the blood flows to the heart. Swedish massage therapists also use a combination of kneading, bending, tapping and some circular pressure to successfully perform the procedure to achieve the maximum benefit.

One of the leading reasons that Swedish massage therapy is requested more than any other technique is that is has established a solid reputation for being a very effective and pleasurable treatment for relief from the discomfort of many medical conditions. Doctors are even touting its success in the treatment of some health issues as well - or better than - traditional methods.

The main characteristic Swedish massage therapy is the application of firm pressure that is used to bring relaxation to the muscles. But at the same time, the pressure and the strokes used in Swedish massage therapy need to be gentle, as well as firm and targeted. Lotion is often used to reduce friction and stimulate the skin.

The main goal of Swedish massage therapy is to relax the entire body and provided that it is performed correctly (by a trained professional), it will escalate the amount of oxygen in the blood; Eliminate toxins that could prove to be harmful; Increase circulation and enhance flexibility; Provide relief from stress and its related symptoms.

Unlike drug therapy, which often results in long-term side effects, Swedish massage therapy

is safe and effective in:

Relaxes tight muscles;

Relieves pain from cramping and spasms in the muscles;

Increases mobility;

Improves skin tone;

Strengthens the muscles;

Reduces rehabilitation time for illness or injury;

Eliminates waste that can harm the body;

Relieves pain from carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis and headache/joint pain.

But Swedish massage therapy is not only known for its healing properties for the body, its benefits carry over into the mind as well by:A much better general sense of overall well-being;A better night's sleep through relaxation and relief from pain;Relief from the symptoms associated with anxiety and depression;Improved concentration.Many are surprised to learn that doctors are recommending Swedish massage therapy for the treatment of their health concerns. But it's easy to understand their decision to prescribe it, based on its ability to reduce the effects of tension, create a calming effect within the body, decrease instances of high blood pressure and substantially improve circulation. They are, however, prescribing Swedish massage therapy to complement existing treatment, not replace it.Swedish massage therapy has also been proven to shorten the rehabilitation period required as a result of overextension of the muscles by flushing the body of metabolic wastes which can slow recovery. Swedish massage therapy has also been proven to increase circulation, keeps ligaments and tendons supple and pliable and stimulates the skin and nervous system, making it a preferred program for stress management.by: Sharon Hubbard
