Origin and Benefits of Swedish Massage

 14 April 2022  By adminasianmassage  Leave a Comment  swedish-massage

Origin

Swedish massage is widely practiced in the Western region. In fact, it is one of the most popular forms of therapeutic massages in the United States and is a favorite among massage enthusiasts.

In Sweden and other European countries, Swedish massage is known as the “classic massage” that works to soothe muscles and soft tissues, increase blood circulation, and relieve body tensions. 

The Swedish attributed the invention of the massage to Per Henrik Ling, a Sweden-based gymnastics teacher and fencing instructor who was believed to developed the method to help the Swedish King during that time. His technique involved long flowing strokes and rhythmic movements to promote physical wellbeing and mental healing.

Description

Swedish Massage focuses on improving blood flow and circulation with its different stroke techniques. A massage therapist would apply pressure through the hands in a circular motion, as well as gliding, rubbing, kneading, tapping, and vibration or shaking. The pressure applied will always depend on your needs and preferences.

Benefits

Today, many people prefer having a Swedish massage for relaxation. But it is good to note that widely popular massage was invented to promote overall healing and its many benefits focus on improving health both inside and out. Below are some of the benefits of Swedish massage:

  • Relieves muscle pain and tension
  • Increased blood flow
  • Pain management for sports injuries and other existing muscle injuries
  • Improves mental health by relieving stress
  • Improves body flexibility

Training to become a Swedish massager

In the US, a minimum of 500 hours of a massage training program is needed to practice therapeutic massages.

Before you start your journey of becoming a Swedish massage therapist, it is good to check the requirements of the area where you will practice your profession. Not all states in the US require a license or certification.
