You've Got to Be kind to Yourself.

Swedish massage therapy is the modality that comes to mind when most people think about massage. As the best-known type of bodywork performed today, one of the primary goals of the Swedish massage technique is to relax the entire body. This is accomplished by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. But Swedish massage therapy goes beyond relaxation. Swedish massage is exceptionally beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension.

 

Five basic strokes, all flowing to the heart, are used to manipulate the soft tissues of the body. Therapists use a combination of kneading, rolling, tapping, vibration, percussive movements, with the application of oil to reduce friction on the skin.

 

The greatest benefit is that of relaxation and a good Swedish massage provides relaxation benefits that makes it feel like a 'treat'. Yet these benefits are so profound one must consider them healing.
