15 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD TAKE A SWEDISH MASSAGE AT THAI BORAN PUSOK RIGHT NOW:
✦ 1. A full-body massage promotes relaxation of the entire body. It can prove to be rejuvenating, mood-enhancing, and energizing.
✦ 2. With regular massage, those diagnosed with osteoarthritis experience improvement in the function of affected joints, especially the knees, within a couple of months. The health benefits of Swedish massage therapy may vary from patient to patient, depending on the type and severity of the condition.
✦ 3. A massage helps get rid of accumulated toxins (for example, lactic acid) in the tissues, bones, and joints. Thus, it helps eliminate the root cause of various diseases.
✦ 4. It improves blood circulation significantly. As a result of this, cells receive more nutrients and oxygen. This helps improve the function of bodily systems and organs. As this boosts the immune system too, chances of ailments are significantly reduced.
✦ 5. It increases the flexibility (range) of joints by reducing stiffness, pain, and tension. This in turn improves the mobility of the person. Increased physical activity helps improve the overall health of the person in various ways.
✦ 6. As it improves blood circulation, it significantly decreases the healing time and promotes fast recovery.
✦ 7. It helps relieve mental stress by reducing the levels of stress hormones like cortisol. Studies show that a massage helps reduce the levels of arginine vasopressin―a hormone that encourages the release of cortisol. Excess cortisol can affect the functioning of the immune system. Moreover, extra cortisol can lead to weight gain. Thus, massage helps maintain weight and health.
✦ 8. Regular massage with essential oils can offer glowing and young-looking skin. The light strokes used during effleurage promote relaxation of soft tissues and encourage sleep. They are incorporated in the facial as well as body massage. Deep effleurage involves stretching and relaxing tense muscles with long gliding strokes. It helps improve blood circulation.
✦ 9. Effleurage helps warm up the muscles before deep tissue work is done using petrissage and other techniques.
✦ 10. A massage helps break down scar tissues.
✦ 11. Tapotement helps athletes to get ready for and recover from challenging workouts. It relaxes and softens the strained muscles.
✦ 12. Regular massage promotes mental and physical rejuvenation. The person can experience and enjoy peace of mind. This helps improve his/her performance.
✦ 13. As the massage improves blood circulation, it relieves stress-related headaches and migraines. Various studies have shown that massage can relieve the symptoms of depression and anxiety.
✦ 14. A 2003 study found that a massage can reduce the need for painkillers, in case of persistent back pain, by 36%. Massage therapy can be very effective, particularly for back pain.
✦ 15. In case of cancer patients, a massage can help reduce the side effects of treatments like chemotherapy and radiation.
Massage therapy can be used as a complementary therapy along with proper medication and treatment. One can opt for it after consultation with a physician, especially after an injury or illness, provided the masseur is properly trained, experienced, and licensed. A Swedish Massage not only promotes relaxation of the body, but it also boosts the immune system by decreasing muscle toxins, increasing blood oxygen level, improving blood circulation, and lowering stress.
