Swedish Massage Not Just A Treat

By Julie Polson


Swedish massage like other health alternatives is often perceived by the public as a treat. This is a misconception and uninformed viewpoint as to the enormous amount of benefits that having treatments on a regular basis can bring about. It is well known that this form of treatment can heal conditions as serious as osteoarthritis and bring about relief.

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.

By having a treatment your focus is naturally drawn away from those thoughts and worries that pervade your life. When a therapist starts to work on a client their natural reaction is to feel what the therapist is doing on a certain part of their body. This immediately draws the attention away from those thoughts we constantly think about.

Pollutants that invade our bodies are present in various forms and impact the body negatively. Some of these include noise pollution, air pollution, emotional pollution and bad eating habits. Some eating habits we may perceive to be good but because of the ways in which we prepare the foods we eat, we render them non nutritious by boiling them excessively or roasting them.

As the client and therapist meet on a regular basis both develop a sense of the problem areas they are dealing with. A trained therapist will have a good sense of where these are located on the body and will have reasonable explanations as to their existence.

Aching ankles can be the result of the tightness of shoe you wear. Whether they offer enough support or not. Another reason could be due to water retention. The therapist will address these concerns whilst gaining a better perspective of the clients lifestyle.

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.
