SWEDISH
THERAPEUTIC
MASSAGE
Welcome to Swedish
massage!
In Sweden, where I received my first training,
Swedish massage
was regarded
not so much as a single
technique, but more like a tool box from which we pick the
elements suitable for the treatment at
hand.
Thus, one of the reasons
for its enduring popularity is the versatility of its
application. It can be used for improving circulation,
getting rid of toxins, dealing with muscular tensions and
sport injuries as well as for the purpose of general
relaxation and of relieving
stress.
After 20 years as a
massage therapist I have come to use a style of massage
that is based on the deep tissue Swedish method, but also
incorporates elements of Aston technique and Slavic
massage among
others.
Of course, a massage
should always be a pleasant experience; you should never
feel that you need to have a "problem" to treat yourself
to a treatment!
