The Effects of Swedish Massage

Who Benefits From the Swedish Massage?

Athletes, the elderly, and patients after muscle sprains are those who primarily need a Swedish massage, because it:

• speeds recovery of muscle fibers;
• promotes the removal from tissues of harmful products of metabolism (lactic acid, uric acid, etc.);
• Increases blood circulation, but at the same time does not load the heart (which is important!);
• saturates the body with oxygen; improves joint mobility.

In addition, after several sessions, the duration and quality of sleep significantly improves, as well as the attention span. In addition, it is one of the effective methods of combating stress at our nearby massage center.

Caution During the Procedure

But, nevertheless, in certain cases you need to be careful:

• in case of torn ligaments, muscles, tendons;
• varicose veins;
• thrombosis;
• recent surgical operations;
• cancer;
• If you take medications that reduce blood clotting.

Swedish Massage Technique

The Swedish massage and the technique of its performance are fundamentally different from the usual massage that we are accustomed to. In addition to the fact that it requires the strength of the hands and a thorough knowledge of human anatomy, there is another difference: it is not from the periphery to the center (as is usually customary), and vice versa – for example, from the base of the foot to the tips of the fingers (ie, in the course of neurovascular bundle). Objective: stretching the neurovascular bundles, muscles, rubbing the seals.

As already mentioned, the Swedish massage in Dubai proper includes several techniques:

• Stroking. In this technique, the person being massaged relaxes, and the masseur determines the condition of the tissues.
• Kneading (squeezing, squeezing, rolling the skin). At this point, the fingers reach the bones and the muscles are lifted.
• Stretching. The most intense technique of Swedish massage. Takes the longest period of time. The masseur uses not only the hands and fingers, but also the forearm. A circular movement is made.
• Tapping (with the edge of the fist, with the edge of the hand or with the handshake). Performed mainly on the trigeminal points. These are problematic, painful areas of the muscles. Each patient has his own, most often located between the shoulder blades and in the neck area.
• Vibrations.
