The Different Techniques of Swedish massage and their Utilities If this is your first time in a massage place, then the best way to start is with the Swedish massage, a relaxing technique for your body and mind. The gentle touch from the light strokes to intriguing frictions is the magic of the Swedish massage. Different therapeutic effects have been taken from the Swedish massage that has a power of rejuvenation for any person experiencing it. Swedish massage traces its origins to a Swedish physiologist in 1812, who first introduced the techniques of this massage. Henri Peter Ling researched and discovered the Swedish massage that actually establishes other massage techniques like the aromatherapy massage, deep tissue massage and the sports massage. Nevertheless, the Swedish massage is basically a combination of different hand strokes that you may need to know. Effects and benefits of Swedish Massage? The Swedish massage has an immediate local and physiological effect on the part of the body being worked and it also effects the whole body through stimulation and relaxation of the nerves. It has physiological and psychological benefits and can effect all of the body systems in a positive way. Physiological effects improve skin tone and colour by removing dead cells, improving circulation, waste removal. Phychological effects relax the body, reducing tension and stress, relax the mind, reducing anxiety, give a lift to the emotions and increase positive feelings. The techniques of Swedish massage When you visit the Lirio Therapy studio, Cleuza uses 5 differents techniques of this massage. A massage is all about eliminating muscle tensions and stiffiness, petrissage, percussion, effleurage, friction and foot massage, this a technique that is used in swedish massage. The hands exert the pressure and rub against the skin with force and friction to break down the tensions. What happens is that your muscles or tissues develop lactic acid in them, leading to contraction of the muscles and release of toxins. With ‘petrissage’ movements, the body is relaxed and it attains an elasticity that makes you feel really good. The next stroke of Swedish massage is the ‘effleurage’. The ‘effleurage’ is actually introduced in the beginning of the massage since it consists of gentle and sweeping strokes to ready your body for massage. ‘Effleurage` improves the blood flow from the limbs to the heart and also the capillaries. So, give your body the ultimate relief with a Swedish massage and release muscle tensions and let out the toxins from your body. Lirio Therapy helps you relax and live life the way it should be lived. |
