Swedish massage is sort of the archetypical massage, the thing that most people picture when they talk about getting a massage.
1. Pain relief
People dealing with chronic pain or sports-related injuries have turned to Swedish massage for pain relief. Your massage session can help alleviate pain in a certain area, or to help you cope with chronic pain that comes from conditions such as arthritis.
2.Increased blood flow
The long stroking motions involved with your massage open your blood vessels and increase blood flow, which means your muscles are getting more oxygen and nutrients and your body is repelling toxins.
3. Less stress
Swedish massage is designed to make you feel more relaxed. Maybe it’s the – quite literal – hands-on attention, or the fact that you can just rest for 60-90 minutes, or some combination of the two.
Whatever the case, you’ll leave the table feeling less stressed, which brings some benefits of its own, including more energy and better sleep.
4. Improved Flexibility
Swedish massage – when combined with regular stretching – can help you get the most out of your workouts and prevent exercise-related injuries.
