There is nothing quite like a relaxing day at the spa. It rejuvenates the senses. It makes you feel good on the inside and the out. But if you have not treated yourself to a massage…you are missing out. One of the most popular forms of massage in the United States, and really around the world, is a Swedish massage. When you understand what Swedish massage therapy is…you will be booking a massage at Aura Wellness spa as soon as possible.

Swedish massage therapy

Swedish massage therapy was created in 1812 by Henry Peter Ling. Mr. Ling was a Swedish physiologist that had studied the human body for years. There was a direct correlation between health and stress, or physical injury. The massage technique he created was one based on long, slow strokes that penetrated the muscles. Each muscle was given the proper amount of attention. Muscles that are knotted and tense are carefully kneaded with a certain amount of pressure.

The benefits of Swedish massage therapy are immense. If you are tired, under stress or have muscles that need attention, a Swedish massage can help. The masseuse will most often use scented oils to help relax you through aromatherapy and use long, gliding strokes to help release the muscle. It is a wonderful experience.

Here are two suggestions though to keep in mind if you have never had a Swedish massage, or any massage for that matter. The first is the level of massage. It is always better to have the masseuse massage you lightly rather than go with a deep massage. A massage that is too hard can leave you feeling sore for the next few days. The second tip is to drink lots of water after the massage. Your muscles will release toxins after the massage and you will need the hydration and you will need to flush these toxins.

Treat yourself to a trip to the day spa and you will experience a renewed sense of vitality. The massage will work out any muscle kinks and leave you feeling like a brand new person.Call Us today at (212) 695-9559 schedule your visit. Please visit our Online reservation page for online bookings
