What is
Swedish massage

Swedish massage was developed at the beginning of the 19th century and its main purpose was to improve human blood circulation. Unlike other types of massage, the Swedish massage technique is somewhat stronger and deeper.

With its help, you can work out deep massaged tissues, stretch the seals and stretch the neurovascular bundles and muscles. Today it is one of the most popular types of wellness massage. The technique and principles of Swedish massage do not allow sharpness, you need to be especially careful at the beginning. Slow movements will help to work out muscles and soft tissues better.

Swedish massage was once developed and proposed as a wellness and therapeutic technology by Per Henrik Ling.

The Swedish massage system is characterized by several special, exceptional nuances that distinguish it from the classics:

a masseur should not work thoughtlessly, relying only on a standard technique that is limited to purely mechanical manipulations. He must carry out serious mental, analytical work, sensitive diagnostics of the condition of the massaged, identifying pathologies of his body.
the purpose of Swedish massage is to rub the formed seals, muscle-tonic tension and gradual stretching of the neurovascular bundles. At the same time, the improvement of venous blood flow and lymphatic metabolism is relegated to the background.
the masseur should exert an enhanced effect on the deepest tissues of the massaged area, up to the bone;

In order for the massaged person to feel comfortable during the entire procedure, a massage cream or oil should be used. In this case, it will be easier to massage, the friction will decrease and the patient will not have a burning skin sensation.

It is necessary to remember the measure: a person will not feel the therapeutic effect if there is too much massage oil and the grip disappears. For allergy sufferers, a special hypoallergenic massage lotion is suitable. Massage oil cannot be immediately poured on the back, first it must be warmed in hot water.

The masseur applies warm oil to his hands and only after that to the patient's back.
