Swedish massage is a deeply relaxing massage which nourishes your
body by increasing blood flow to the cells. Using five primary
strokes, swedish massage cleanses the cells by stimulating lymph
circulation and accelerating the elimination of waste and toxic
buildup. The long, smooth effleurage strokes speed venous blood
back to the heart where it can be replaced with fresh oxygenated
blood. The circular movements of friction help to limber joints,
tendons and muscles increasing joint range of motion and reducing
risk of injury. Kneading and compressing the tissues helps to relieve
intestinal congestion, increase lung activity and cellular respiration,
stimulate nerve endings and increase the size and strength of the
muscles. Excellent for athletes, swedish massage encourages the
retention of nitrogen, phosphorous and sulfur necessary for tissue
repair in bone fractures and strained muscles. Overall, swedish
massage improves the general circulation of fluids in the body,
increasing nutrition to the tissues and cells and leaving you feeling
refreshed and relaxed. |
