Nikhil Reddy is the Best & Trusted Swedish Sports Massage Provider in Malad, Mumbai.
Receiving a massage treatment is an extremely pleasant experience, which will make you feel relaxed, refreshed and invigorated. Sometimes though, especially when clients start their massage therapy journey, choosing the most effective treatment can be not that obvious.
Swedish massage is, together with Deep Tissue, one of the most popular treatments we offer in our Fulham clinic. Its main aim is to help reduce stress, tension and anxiety, rebooting the entire nervous system so that you can feel more relaxed and balanced.
While for the aforementioned two types of treatments the therapist applies quite a firm and vigorous pressure, during a Swedish massage the pace is much slower and the touch is lighter, in order to promote a complete mind and body relaxation. Very often this is the favourite treatment for clients who suffer from migraines and heavy headaches, or have intensive and demanding workloads, as it helps them unwind and properly switch off.
Also emotional conditions like depression or low sleeping quality can get a great deal of improvement after a course of Swedish massages. Here at Fulham Massage & Wellness all our therapists offer not only a treatment according to their highest standards, but also ensure that the atmosphere is concurring to provide an overall feeling of warmth and relaxation: you will be given the option to have classical music in the background, a gently heated massage couch and soft, dimmed lights in the room in order to immerse yourself in a cosy environment.
If you would like to experience the benefits of our professional massage therapy, choosing the treatment that is most tailored to your needs or simply wish to know more about Deep Tissue, Sports or Swedish massage, please contact Nikhil
What is Swedish Massage?
Swedish massage is used to promote psychological and emotional well-being through stress reduction and relaxation by applying long, slow and gentle massage strokes. The application of Swedish massage can stimulate the release of the body’s natural endorphins which are known as our “feel good” hormones. Different types of techniques used include: effleurage, petrissage, vibration and friction.
Evidence shows that Swedish massage is very beneficial for stress reduction. A study conducted by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine found that volunteers who were given a 45-minute Swedish massage demonstrated significant decreases in levels of the stress hormone ‘cortisol’. Volunteers also had increases in the number of white blood cells that are part of the immune system, and a boost in the immune cells that may help fight colds and the flu
Which is more effective?
People often ask which form of massage is better. Unfortunately, the answer is not so simple as it varies from person to person depending on their needs. There is no ‘superior’ massage technique, each has their own benefits and advantages. Swedish massage would be more suited to individuals who suffer from high stress levels to help them unwind and relax. Sports massage would benefit those who are either recovering from an injury, preparing for a sporting event, or just want to get rid of those horrible knots!
Swedish massage is a highly effective massage that uses long, and gentle massage strokes that are believed to promote the release of your body’s natural endorphins. Several studies have shown that in addition to promoting muscle relaxation, Swedish massage can also improve emotional well-being, and can be a highly effective treatment for issues such as anxiety and depression. In fact, a study conducted by the National Centre for Complementary and Alternative Medicine revealed that volunteers who participated in a 45-minute Swedish massage session experienced a substantial decrease in the stress hormone cortisol. An increase in white blood cells amongst the volunteers was also noted. There are a number of different techniques used in Swedish massage, these include: petrissage, effleurage, friction, and vibration.
