Swedish Massage Therapy

Massage therapy and chiropractic care complement each other to promote healing and relaxation, and they can help you recover from injuries faster. Here at Full Body rejuvenation, we offer Swedish massages.

Swedish Massage

When most people think of massage, they think of Swedish Massage, which is the most relaxing type of massage therapy available. It involves light pressure and long, smooth strokes to relax the muscles and knead away physical and mental tension. Hand strokes can be both long and fluid and circular to help knead away muscle tension and reduce knots and sore spots in the muscles and soft tissues.

During these massages, the recipient is asked to consciously relax their body. This makes the massage more effective and promotes total body relaxation, which is great for unwinding and distressing from the hectic duties of work and home.

Benefits of Massage Therapy

Massage therapy has a number of benefits, including improved circulation, better immune system function, reduced general body pain, lower stress levels and stress hormones, better muscle oxygenation, reduced muscle tension and improved flexibility. Massage sessions typically last between 30 and 60 minutes.

The benefits of massage are realized immediately after the first session. Studies have documented reduced cortisol and vasopressin hormones and increases in white blood cells, which help fight off viruses and bacterial infections. For individuals that work out on a regular basis, receiving regular massages can help the muscles release lactic acid, which causes soreness and muscle cramps after vigorous exercise sessions.

For individuals with injuries, from post-surgery incisions to accidental injuries, Swedish massage can promote healing by increasing circulation and oxygenation, which improves the cells ability to regenerate.

Arthritis sufferers and individuals with back and joint pain benefit from massage because it loosens the muscles, ligaments and soft tissues, which reduces pain and reliance on pain medications.

The benefits of massage are cumulative. The more massages you receive within a period of time, the greater the benefits. Muscles are significantly loosened. Sore and tight spots are eliminated and scar tissue is effectively broken up, which improves range of motion and flexibility.

Swedish massages can also be customized for your specific circumstances. Our massage therapist can pay more attention to areas that are significantly sore, including the lower back, shoulders and feet, and less attention on areas that are causing you less pain.

Massages are safe for all ages and pregnant women.

Our massage therapist consults with our chiropractor to form a comprehensive treatment plan that is designed to reduce your pain and heal your injuries in the shortest amount of time possible. The chiropractic adjustments realign misaligned joints and reduce pain and swelling. The massage sessions further help to reduce pain and increase the effectiveness of the chiropractic adjustments. By combining these treatments, healing times are greatly improved and pain reduction is much faster.
