Among the reasons cited are improvement pliability and suppleness of ligaments and tendons through stretching, increased circulation without causing greater burden to the heart, discharging metabolic waste like uric and lactic acid tissues to speed up the healing process for muscular strain, and lastly, toxin elimination and increased oxygen flow in the body. Swedish massages as a tool for stress management (http://realrelaxation.net/go/stress-management/), according to Mamashealth.com, the source cited in Koss's blog, can also reduce physical and emotional stress as well as stimulate and soother nerves at the same time.

A number of benefits can be enjoyed by having a Swedish massage.

Various types of stroke are employed in a Swedish massage. Brisk taps or chops are called percussion strokes, passive and active moments simply involve bending and stretching while petrissage strokes make use of one's fingers and hands in kneading.
