Massage
is an ancient therapeutic treatment. Countless civilisations
throughout history have recognised the healing power
of human touch, especially in Eastern cultures (Ancient
Rome, Greece, China and Egypt).
Swedish Massage gets it name from Per Henrik Ling,
a Swede who, in the 1800s looked at Eastern and
Western massage traditions and developed his own
scientific system of massage movements which forms
the basis of many massage techniques today. This
Swedish Massage system includes long smooth strokes
(effleurage), kneading (petrissage) and friction
and tapping (tapotement) all of which work to relax
tired and aching muscles whilst encouraging the
flow of blood and lymph and enhancing skin tone. |

| As
with all Complementary Therapies, an initial consultation
is carried out before the first treatment. The area
massaged first is usually the back because working
muscles along the length of the spine helps to soothe
the central nervous system and relax the client
for the duration of the treatment session. A client’s
modesty is protected at all times by towels and
a blanket if required. After care advice is given
such as drink plenty of water, avoid alcohol and
take time to relax if possible. |
