SWEDISH HOT OIL MASSAGE
Swedish Massage is the most common form of massage given in the United States and was pioneered in the early nineteenth century by Dr Per Henrik Ling who was a Swedish physiologist. It is very therapeutic and used to treat stress and stress related conditions, muscle strains and sprains, repetitive strain injury, back pain, headaches and migraines. It increases flexibility and mobility and improves circulation by bringing oxygen and nutrients to the body tissues. At New One Massage, our therapists use hot oil in conjunction with the following strokes.
Effleurage is a smooth gliding movement practiced in all massages where oil is used. The strokes follow the contours of the body and go in the direction of blood flow towards the heart to stimulate blood circulation.
Petrissage is a technique similar to kneading dough. The therapist uses finger, thumb and hand pressure to compress the underlying muscles in order to release the tension and stiffness. This stretches the muscles, increases circulation and speeds up the elimination of waste products. Petrissage is applied on large muscles such as the shoulders, thighs and hips.
Friction is the deepest technique used in Swedish Massage. The therapist uses finger and thumb pressure in a circular rubbing motion on bands of painful tissue to release muscle tension. This enhances muscle flexibility and improves circulation.
Percussion is usually given at the end of the massage where the therapist lightly strikes the body in rapid chopping movements to stimulate the muscle tissue and boost circulation.
