Swedish Massage Therapy Bournemouth

Experience the Award-Winning Benefits of Swedish Massage in Bournemouth

Swedish massage is one of the most practiced forms of massage therapy in the western world. Also known as classic massage, it is a gentle form of massage therapy that focuses on promoting relaxation and improving the overall well-being through various techniques. Our specialist practitioners performing Swedish Massage incorporate a variety of massage techniques to provide and promote healing.

Swedish massage techniques include long flowing strokes, effleurage, petrissage, kneading, tapotement, friction, and vibration to soothe muscles, enhance blood circulation, and reduce tension. Massage oil or luxury lotion is used to protect the skin from friction and enhance the deeply calming and relaxing feeling for patients. Swedish Massage is particularly popular as it doesn’t cause any post-treatment soreness, and it has a reputation for having a balancing effect on the nervous system.

HISTORY OF THE SWEDISH MASSAGE

During the 1830s, Swedish physician Pehr Henrik developed the concept and practice of Swedish massage. Often credited as the Father of Swedish Massage, Ling combined his in-depth knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and gymnastics to craft his massage technique, believing that long, relaxing, fluid strokes that avoid deep, intensive pressure were the best way to promote a calm body and mind, alongside relieving pain.

 

BENEFITS OF SWEDISH MASSAGE

Swedish massage is a popular therapeutic massage typically used for relaxation, but it can also be applied as an effective form of pain therapy, boasting various benefits both physical and psychological. Its various associated techniques are primarily used to relax muscles, improve circulation, and promote overall well-being. However, there are many other benefits to Swedish Massage, such as:
  • Muscle tension and pain relief.
