What Swedish Massage Gives

August 11, 2022

Most massages focus on relaxing the muscles, stretching them and working with the human body rather than the mind. At the same time, holistic massage is more about psychotherapy, and its main goal is to affect the nervous system through touch. It has been proven that emotions are closely related to a person's physiological sensations, for example, pain directly affects the emotional state, and its prolonged effect can have a negative impact on the psyche.

What is a Holistic Massage?

For most people who are not familiar with holistic massage, the actions of the doctor may seem unusual, because the main thing here is not massaging the skin and muscles, but movements that can cause the body to vibrate.

 

In English, this type of massage is called "pulsation", that is, pulsation, which perfectly reflects the main concept of the method. The masseur does not just knead and stretch the muscles, but moves parts of the body, carefully observing the response and resistance. If he does not feel any vibration or resistance, then he understands that this particular area is problematic.

 

Physiological muscle movements also improve lymph circulation, which makes the body feel lighter, excess water and swellings go away, and toxins leave the body.

Peculiarities of Swedish massage

This subspecies of therapy is slightly different from the basic therapy, namely, the use of techniques at a different pace:

• rubbing;
• squeezing;
• displacement of the skin;
• tapping.

A certified practitioner of a Swedish massage Dubai is able to feel and understand which places need relaxation more or less during the procedure. The difference from the classical holistic massage is the need for more effort, a stronger impact on the muscles and a slower speed of movement.

What Problems Will the Procedure Solve?

Many people have encountered problems that can be solved by undergoing a course of holistic massage:

• Headache. The most common reason for going to a specialist. In most cases, the root cause of head pain is a pinched nerve in the muscles of the neck or shoulders, from constant tension in a sitting position. Massage will help relieve the clamps and cope with pain.
• Pathologies of the joints and spine. Tension of the muscles in the joint area can hinder the flow of nutrients, which contributes to pain and impaired ability to regenerate.
• Rehabilitation. Many of the changes that occur in the body with serious illnesses can be irreversible. For example, damage to the heart and brain during a heart attack and stroke. But massage can not only help to improve the overall condition, but also will reduce the manifestations of irreversible changes. Help should be provided in a timely manner, especially if massage has been prescribed by the attending physician, so you should not put off visiting a specialist for too long.
• ADHD. Inability to concentrate and hyperactivity of the child is an indicator of incorrect work of the nervous system.
• Depression and stress. Negative emotions are one of the main psychological causes of pathologies. Because of a person's inability to cope with stress, many heart and spine diseases occur.
• Rejuvenation. Age brings not only experience, but also vascular problems, slowed metabolism and regeneration. Massage will not give you an extra hundred years of life, but it will allow you to relax and restore the body's strength.

Holistic massage will be useful for hormonal disorders, autism and for people working in extreme conditions.

Basic Principles

It is not enough to learn a few movements to become a specialist, you also need to learn to see and understand the essence of the task set by the patient. This is why our massage spa therapists adhere to principles:

• Integrity. Massage got its name from the Greek word "holism", which means "whole, whole", that is, the essence in the treatment of the body as a whole, not just a particular area. Do not forget the psychological component: the procedure should bring peace and positive emotions, reducing the negative ones.
• Freedom. Coercion will not help to relax and work through body problems, so both the patient and the masseur should voluntarily participate in the procedure.
• Consistency of movement. A relaxed state is very easy to knock down with a careless movement or on the contrary - with no movements at all. It is worth to stick to one rhythm and tempo.
• Stretching. Stretching and pulsation relieve tension and tightness.
• Unification. The specialist works with the patient's entire body, not a specific point, only so bring complete relaxation.
• Resource. We should not forget that the main thing in holistic massage is to restore the soul and help to find balance, and this is impossible without the patient's work on the past and his faith in himself.

Positive results will be achieved sooner if there is a trusting relationship between the practitioner and the patient, and the environment is relaxed, beneficial to the person's state of mind.
