- Details - Category: Massage Therapy What is a Swedish Massage? The term "Swedish Massage" refers to a variety of techniques specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones, and rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart. Swedish massage was developed in the 1700's by a Swedish doctor named Per Henrik Ling. Purpose of Swedish Massage The main purpose of Swedish massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles. Swedish massage shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. It increases circulation without increasing heart load. It stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and pliable. Swedish massage also stimulates the skin and nervous system and soothes the nerves themselves at the same time. It reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is suggested in a regular program for stress management. It also has many specific medical uses. Swedish Massage Techniques Swedish massage techniques include: long strokes, kneading, friction, tapping, percussion, vibration, effleurage, and shaking motions. The usually sequence of techniques are: Effleurage: Gliding strokes with the palms, thumbs and/or fingertips Petrissage: Kneading movements with the hands, thumbs and/or fingers Friction: Circular pressures with the palms of hands, thumbs and/or fingers Vibration: Oscillatory movements that shake or vibrate the body Percussion: Brisk hacking or tapping Passive and active movements: Bending and stretching Benefits of Swedish Massage Swedish massage feels good, is relaxing and invigorating. It affects the nerves, muscles, glands, and circulation, while promoting health and well being. Source Here Swedish Massage ... Swedish massage is the therapeutic massage standard for much of the Western world. Developed in the 1800s by Pehr Henrik Ling, it incorporates a variety of specific massage techniques to treat sore muscles, tension, stress, and poor circulation. Most Western massage modalities have their origins in Swedish massage, and the majority of massage therapists in the West are trained in Swedish massage before they learn any other massage techniques. Swedish massage is so ubiquitous that in Europe that it is known as Classic Massage. Ling initially called his massage technique Medical Gymnastics, and intended it to supplement traditional medical care. Another physician, Johann Mezger, gave the techniques used in Swedish massage French names and popularized the massage style. Today, it is offered at spas and massage studios all over the world, and many other massage styles are rooted in Swedish massage. Swedish massage uses five basic movements to increase circulation and remove toxins from the muscles. Always working towards the heart, the massage therapist incorporates these techniques into a flowing massage session that leaves the patient physically and emotionally relaxed. The trademark move of Swedish massage is Effleurage, long gliding strokes that can be firm or soft, depending on purpose and client. Many therapists start out a session with Effleurage to familiarize themselves with the patient, and then start to bring more pressure to bear for deeper work. Swedish massage also includes Petrissage, or kneading. Petrissage is designed to release toxins from the muscles by lifting, separating, and rolling them. Gentle pressure is used to compress and relax the muscles, and enhance circulation. Another technique, Tapotement, involves tapping the muscles with a percussive stroke. The side of the hand, fingers, or palm may be used to release tension and cramping. Many therapists also incorporate vibration, a technique added to the Swedish massage repertoire later. The therapist centers his or her hands on the back of a limb and shakes them briskly for several seconds to release tension, encourage circulation, and help muscles to contract. The deepest work in Swedish massage is accomplished with friction, where the therapist works deep into the muscles with the fingers, elbow, or base of the palm. Using circular movements, the therapist works deeply into the muscle, especially in bony areas, to release muscle adhesions which can restrict movement. Friction helps the client to be more flexible, and it also releases deep seated muscle tension. Source Here Quantum Light

Švedska masaža je standardna terapeutska masaža za većinu zapadnog sveta. Udružuje razne specifične tehnike masaže za tretiranje bolnih mišića, napetosti, stresa i loše cirkulacije. Švedska masaža je prilično česta, pa je u Evropi poznatija kao klasična masaža. Pojavila se u 19. A njen je začetnik bio Pehr Henrik Ling. Ling je svoju tehniku masaže prvobitno nazvao medicinska gimnastika i hteo dopuniti tradicionalnu medicinsku negu. Drugi doktor, Johann Mezger, dao je tehnikama koja se koriste u švedskoj masaži francuska imena i popularizirao ovu tehniku masaže. Švedska masaža koristi 5 osnovnih pokreta za poboljšanje cirkulacije i izbacivanje toksina iz mišića. Uvek masirajući prema srcu, maser udružuje te tehnike u jedan tok tretmana masaže, što pacijenta čini fizički i psihički opuštenim. Zaštitni znak švedske masaže je Effleurage, dugi i površinski pokreti, koji mogu biti čvršći ili blagi, zavisno od svrhe i klijenta. Mnogi terapeuti započinju tretman s Effleurage kako bi se pobliže upoznali s pacijentom, a onda postepeno pojačali stisak za dublji i detaljniji rad. Švedska masaža takođe uključuje Petrissage ili gnječenje. Petrissage je namienjen da izbaci toksine iz mišića tako da ih terapeut diže , razdvaja i valja. Koristi se blag pritisak s namerom da stisne i opusti mišiće, te poboljša cirkulaciju. Sledeća tehnika, Tapotement, uključuje tapkanje mišića laganim udarcima. Ovde terapeut koristi rubove šaka, prste i dlanove, s ciljem da se otpusti napetost i grčevi. Mnogi terapeuti dodaju vibraciju, tehniku koja je kasnije dodana repertoaru švedske masaže. Terapeut položi svoje ruke na tretirani deo tela i protrese ih na par sekundi s ciljem da se otpuste napetosti i potakne cirkulacija. Najdublji posao u švedskoj masaži završen je s trenjem, gde se terapeut koristi prstima, laktom ili bazom dlana. Koristeći kružne pokrete, terapeut radi duboko u mišićima, posebno u koštanim područjima, kako bi otpustio mišićne adhezije koje mogu ograničiti pokret. Ova tehnika pomaže klijentu da bude više fleksibilan i takođe oslobađa duboko ukorienjene napetosti mišića. Za najbolje rezultate, preporučuje se napraviti seriju od 2-3 tretmana. Ukoliko želite održavati duh i tijelo u top formi, tada je preporuka dva puta mesečno.
