At RIDAN BEAUTY massage services are only available to ladies only.
If you are feeling stressed, tense, or sore, you may benefit from a Swedish massage. A Swedish massage is one of the most popular treatments at RIDAN BEAUTY. It is designed to energize the body and improve overall health by using various techniques to manipulate the soft tissues of the body.
What is a Swedish massage?
A Swedish massage is a type of massage that uses long, kneading strokes combined with rhythmic tapping strokes and movement of the joints. It targets the uppermost layer of muscles and aims to relieve muscle tension, improve blood circulation, and promote relaxation.
A Swedish massage can last from 45 minutes to 90 minutes, depending on your needs and goals. It can be done as a standalone treatment or as part of a package that includes other beauty services such as facials or manicures.
How does a Swedish massage work?
A Swedish massage works by applying pressure and friction to the muscles and connective tissues of the body. This stimulates the nervous system and increases blood flow to the area. This helps to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the cells and remove waste products and toxins.
A Swedish massage also works by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for regulating the body's rest and digest functions. This helps to lower the heart rate, blood pressure, and stress hormones. It also helps to release endorphins, which are natural painkillers and mood boosters.
A Swedish massage uses five main techniques, these are:
Effleurage: This technique involves gliding strokes with the palms or fingers over large areas of the body. It is used to warm up the muscles, relax the client, and prepare them for deeper work.
Petrissage: This technique involves squeezing, rolling, or kneading the muscles with the hands or fingers. It is used to break up knots, release tension, and improve elasticity and flexibility.
Friction: This technique involves rubbing or pressing the muscles with circular or crosswise movements. It is used to increase heat, stimulate nerve endings, and enhance blood flow.
Tapotement: This technique involves tapping, pounding, or hacking the muscles with the sides of the hands or fingers. It is used to invigorate the muscles, increase blood circulation, and stimulate nerve impulses.
Vibration: This technique involves shaking or rocking the muscles with rapid movements. It is used to loosen tight muscles, relax spasms, and stimulate nerve endings.
