Swedish Massage
Swedish massage is one of the most common and well-known massage techniques. The focus is mainly on energizing the body and promoting circulation. It consists of five basic strokes, all flowing toward the heart, designed to warm up the muscle tissues. When this technique is used, only the area that is being worked is exposed. Therapists use a combination of kneading, rolling, and effleurage (a gliding stroke that is unique to Swedish massage). The many benefits of Swedish massage may include generalized relaxation, dissolution of scar tissue adhesions, and improved circulation, which may speed healing and reduce swelling from injury.
"I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years walking on hard floors 10 hours a day. I felt a horrible pain in my right hip/buttocks area and could not bend or walk. My sister did a little research and recommended Healthy Life Chiropractic- They do EVERYTHING! After the first treatment, the pain was gone! After being educated on my problems, they worked on my whole body and it feels 100% better. I have never been a good sleeper, but I am sleeping much better and get up in the morning ready to go! I have never felt better!"
