Is A Swedish Massage Right For You?
Swedish massages are one of the most well-known and popular types
of massage. But what is it? And what makes it Swedish? They were
developed by Swedes Pehr Henrik Ling and Johann Mezger, and is unique in
that it uses flowing strokes, circular movements and hand kneading to
increase the circulation of blood flow throughout the body. These
motions enhance blood flow to the heart and result in various physical
benefits. Swedish massage is also known as classic massage in some parts
of the world.
It is characterized by five basic massage strokes. They are known as:
Friction is the application of firm pressure in tight, circular motions to loosen the knots that can be found in muscles and nerves. Tapotement involves massaging the client's body from the edge of the hand. With Pestrissage, the practitioner applies a pressure to the underlying muscles in an effective way. Swedish massage therapists also use quick shaking movements to vibrate the muscles, which is known as Vibration. The light strokes applied by massage therapists to encourage the blood flow are known as Effleurage.
The therapists generally apply oil or cream to minimize the friction and provide smooth strokes for the client. Therapists create a relaxing and comfortable environment before starting the treatment. During the massage, the client should not be distracted by any external factor. That is why the massage therapist selects a quiet and calm environment with dim lighting. These external factors have the potential to augment the benefits of your massage.
Practitioners have a professional table that is specifically designed for the massage. It provides adequate support to all the body's muscles. First, the therapist will focus on your larger muscle groups, such as the back, legs, shoulders and neck.
Therapists usually start the massage at the shoulders, as this has been shown to maximize the effects of Swedish massage. Because Swedish massage is a full body massage, the therapist will provide the treatment to all muscles of the body.
There is no doubt that Swedish massage is so popular due to its effectiveness. It enhances blood circulation, which benefits all the organs in your body. It relieves the pressure that can be found in joints. It leaves the body relaxed and muscles looser. Swedish massage also reduces the body's overall stress level by manipulating hormone levels.
As with all massage, in order to get the full benefits of a Swedish massage, you will need to see a licensed massage professional.

Benefits of Facials Extend Beyond Spa Appointments
Just the mention of the word facial conjures up images of
pampered treatments at a spa that leave the recipient calm, relaxed, and
stress-free. While this is more than reason enough for many women to
visit a spa, there are numerous health benefits of facials as well. No
longer just an option for the wealthy, facials have become much more
affordable and beneficial for skin, with many first-timers to spas
maturing into steady clients who later cannot imaging living their lives
without facial appointments.
Among the many types of facials, there seems to be something for every member of the family: classic women's versions, men's facials, and facials specialized for teens. Each one targets a specific type of skin, and offers the most customized treatment for maintenance, prevention, as well as addressing problem skin areas. While the various facials are intended for different clients, they all offer one thing in common in their results: healthier skin. In much the same way a woman's facial can address sensitivity, fine lines, and signs of aging, a man's facial eases irritation, and provides a deep cleansing - with both resulting in healthy, radiant skin. Not to be outdone, teen facials also offer enhancements in appearance by soothing redness and helping to prevent breakout-prone incidents.
Similar to getting a massage, a facial offers layers of benefits, not only outward, but also beneath the surface. The overall relaxation and relief of stress is immediately apparent after both a massage or facial; however, added benefits beneath the skin evidence muscles that are no longer tight, and pores that are no longer clogged. These in-common benefits are often the reason many spas offer combinations of both services - so that clients can receive the maximum benefits of both options, and leave with more mobility and flexibility in their steps and skin.
In times past, both massages and facials were considered commonplace events for the well off, and luxuries for nine-to-fivers. Today, many medical professionals extol the virtues of both, with chiropractors encouraging massage as often as dermatologists encourage facials. In fact, regular spa treatments often work hand-in-hand with physician-dictated courses of treatment, and serve to enhance overall health among patients. It's this type of win-win situation that has spas growing in clientele, with an increase in facial requests. When considered a medical benefit, most people would agree facials are the kind of medicine few people would refuse to take.
