Characteristics and techniques of Swedish massage.

An uninitiated person may or may not know what a Swedish massage is and how it differs from the classic one. But there are some differences. In fact, the technique of your behavior is quite common, but the effect is not on the muscles, but above all on the joints.

This technique was invented by the Swedish physician-massager Ling in 1813. For this he combined the techniques that the ancient Greeks, Romans and Chinese invented. Ling's theory was so successful in the treatment of patients with joints that is used very actively in our time.

The Swedish doctor applied conventional conventional massage techniques to rub the painful joints, stretching the bales of the vessels and nerves and rubbing tight muscles.

 A bit of technique

Since Swedish massage is not considered a very common method of influencing the body, it is worth paying special attention to your technique. We will explain the main techniques and we will study in the massage of various parts of the body.

    Although classic massage techniques are used, special attention is paid to the deep impact on the joints.
    The specialist will trace the seals detected and stretch the neurovascular packs.
    The basis of the technique is to move from the extremities to the center. For example, if you loose the leg, move from hip to foot, and if the hand is shoulder-to-hand.
    Special attention is paid to the small joints, which are rubbed with special care.
    Most of the session is dedicated to kneading with your fingers, and you only spend a lot of time to caress yourself.
    Mandatory condition: the Swedish massage begins with the subsequent rubbing and ends with a head.

Brush

    First, each finger rubs, starting with the small finger and ending with the thumb
    Then, extend the palm, the forearm and the elbow, and then the shoulder joint
    The specialist will actively influence each of them, even in the smallest bone. In fact, the rectification of a hand does not last more than five minutes.

The leg

    As with the hand, the freck starts from the fingers, then goes to the heel and turns around the circle
    The masseur hide the Achilles tendon, the shine, and then the knee, alternating and rectifying it.

 No matter the useful Swedish massage, it still has some contraindications that you have to keep in mind before recording a specialist.

    Do not start a course if the patient presents new fractures or unplanned wounds
    It is not recommended to perform the procedure for varicose veins and thrombophlebitis
    It is also prohibited to do a massage of this type in the presence of hypertension or oncological diseases.

In any case, before starting a treatment course, be sure to check with your doctor. Often doctors themselves recommend Swedish massage to people who have suffered various injuries and who can not repair the joints and tendons. It will be useful to try this procedure for people who are in sedentary or elderly jobs. It is in this last that joint joints are often deposited, which interfere with normal blood supply and delivery.
