Swedish Massage
What is Swedish Massage?
Swedish massage is one of the most well-known and widely used forms of massage therapy. It involves a combination of long, gliding strokes, kneading, friction, tapping, and gentle stretching to promote relaxation and improve circulation. This type of massage is ideal for those looking to relieve muscle tension, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being.
We’re proud to offer the service at Precision Spinal Care! Many of our patients notice that it can help with:
- General muscle tension and stiffness
- Stress and anxiety
- Poor circulation
- Fatigue and low energy
- Mild joint pain
- Headaches caused by muscle tension
How Swedish Massage Helps
Swedish massage works by improving blood flow, which helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to muscles while flushing out toxins. The gentle pressure and rhythmic movements also promote relaxation, reduce cortisol (the stress hormone), and boost endorphin production, leaving you feeling rejuvenated.
During your session, you can expect:
- Before the massage: Your therapist will ask about your health history, any areas of concern, and your preferred pressure level.
- During the massage: You will lie comfortably on a massage table, covered with a sheet or towel. The therapist will use oil or lotion to perform various massage techniques, including effleurage (long strokes), petrissage (kneading), friction, and tapotement (light tapping).
- After the massage: You may feel deeply relaxed or slightly lightheaded, and your muscles may feel looser. Drinking plenty of water can help flush out toxins released during the massage.
