What is Swedish massage? |
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Swedish massage as we know it today
comes in the main from the work of Per Henrik Ling. After studying in China, the Swede developed the Ling Exercise System in the early 1800s which incorporated new massage techniques. The treatment was further expanded during the 19th century in England , Holland and America. The medical profession began to encourage nurses to train as masseuses as demand for the treatment increased in the 20th century. The health service of today is again beginning to recognise the importance of massage in the treatment of patients' physical and mental needs. Massage therapy has never been more popular and demand for private treatment is widespread throughout the general population. |

Swedish massage can be described as quite invigorating and the pressure used can vary depending on the clients' needs. It is especially good for treating muscular knots and tension, improving muscle tone, stimulating circulation and lymph drainage, which improves the elimination of toxins from the body. Regulated Councils have been formed to which trained therapists are registered, ensuring high standards are maintained. Although Swedish massage is only one form of many massages available, it remains the quintessential treatment on which others are based. |
