Swedish Massage And Enhanced Health

By Julie Polson


Swedish massage often referred to as classic massage is a form of treatment falling into the category of alternative medicine. The benefits of having this type of treatment on a regular basis is a preventative measure to not exposing oneself to more serious and debilitating conditions. It is a form of practice that is often misunderstood as most people who are uninformed about the positive effects it has on health will opt to use traditional medicine instead.

A therapist that is both trained and intuitive to someones body, can achieve amazing results in such a short period of time. The benefits are not only that of a physical nature but can be of an emotional one as well. Most Swedish massage therapists are able to teach you ways of how to improve your mobility and the reasons why you cramp up or have pain in the areas of your body that you do.

An improved sense of well being is achieved by a therapist manipulating areas of congestion where stress has developed. Swedish massage is characterized by long flowing strokes as well as the dissipation of trapped and blocked energy found in muscles and joints. Improved blood circulation is another benefit and a treatment leaves one feeling relaxed and free of aches and pains.

The idea is to bring the body back into a state of equilibrium. Worrisome thoughts are waylaid for a short spell and can be spoken about if a sense of trust and familiarity develops between client and therapist. It is these emotional blockages that form a great part of the levels of stress we put ourselves under.

At the same time on a physical level we begin to gain an awareness of the condition our bodies are in. You will often hear a therapist ask of you whether the pain you are feeling is sharp or dull. He or she will ask you to explain the feeling you get when pressing on certain points of your body.

By doing this both client and therapist gain an awareness of the problem areas. A client will often inquire as to why he or she is experiencing discomfort in the ankle for example. The ankle area is naturally a joint prone to aches and pains because of the amount of movements it must make. The focus of the therapist will not be on how to solve the question asked by explanation as this could be due to numerous reasons but will manipulate the area to bring about relief.

Having sessions on a weekly basis allows you the opportunity and provides you information about how you are doing physically. It is a precautionary measure to far more sinister ailments that may be developing that most are unaware of until having a treatment.

Swedish massage is not just about having a good time once a year. The more one involves oneself in this discipline the more one begins to understand those essentials that the body requires and makes one aware of how to better your state of health.
