Overview of the treatments
Swedish massage is one of the most common forms of massage therapy in the UK.
Massage therapy relieves stress. It is thought to help the body's stress response by lowering
levels of hormones such as cortisol. Swedish massage therapy also appears to enhance immune function.
It also improves circulation by bringing oxygen and other nutrients to body tissues.
Ailments which can be treated by this therapy
Patients get massage therapy for relaxation or for a variety of health conditions:
back pain, inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and tendinitis, stress relief and stress-related conditions,
headaches and migraines, muscle and related conditions such as spasms, strains and sprains, repetitive strain injury,
such as carpal tunnel syndrome. It is also helpful for respiratory problems, post-injury and post surgical rehabilitation.
How is the treatment done
Massage therapists use long, smooth strokes, kneading and other movements focused on superficial layers of muscle.
The therapist uses a light oil or lotion on the skin. Massage will begin with a brief consultation and review of symptoms,
medical history, and lifestyle. Swedish massage is tailored to personal needs.
