What is a Relaxation/Therapeutic/Swedish Massage?
It is relaxing and invigorating. It affects the nerves, muscles, glands, and circulation, while promoting health and well being.
You will have a long, luxurious massage which will use all kinds of techniques including long strokes, gentle kneading and
rolling of skin and muscle, and perhaps some rhythmic rocking from side to side. It is a passive treatment. This is the massage
to choose if you just want to chill out, and be pampered and spoiled.
In my sessions I also include hot stones for the back. This is deeply relaxing and also loosens the back muscles.
What is type of massage good for?
A good relaxation massage relieves stress and tension in your muscles and will leave you feeling a sense of wellbeing. It
achieves this because of the general benefits of massage: it improves your circulation, so your organs and skin get more
oxygen; it moves fluid through your lymphatic system. A relaxation massage encourages your body to digest its food, and get
rid of its toxins. It will help you to sleep better.
Precautions
- Before any massage treatment, avoid large meals or alcohol.
- It's also a good idea to drink plenty of water, which will help your body to flush the toxins out of your body.
- It's also a good idea to give yourself plenty of time either side of the massage, so that you don't feel rushed.
- You should always tell your therapist in advance if you:
- are, or think you might be, pregnant
- have any medical conditions or are receiving any treatment or medication
- have recently had an injury or operation
- are allergic to anything, particularly skin allergies
- have any broken skin
Afterwards
The benefits of one relaxation massage can last days, but you need to give it a chance to do that. Try not to plan any hectic
activity immediately afterwards. This is probably exactly what you will feel like doing - listen to your body! It can seem surreal
and is probably pointless, for example, to go straight back to work if you are feeling so relaxed you can hardly speak!
