Swedish massage is one of the more common forms of bodywork. It is best known for it’s soothing and relaxing quality. It can reduce stress both physically and emotionally and has been recommend by physicians as a form of stress management.
Unfortunately, many people think of Swedish massage as a luxury rather than a necessity. Did you know that Swedish massage has added physiological benefits?
If you have ever started a new workout routine and felt sore the next day, you may have experienced the result of toxins being trapped in your muscles.
Swedish massage increases oxygen flow in the blood and flushes these toxins (known as lactic acid) from the muscle tissue, where they are then removed naturally through the body’s own cleansing process.
