Benefits of Massage!
Relaxation> Massage both calms the nervous system and relaxes muscular tension.
Reduces Stress> Many of us live demanding lives, both overscheduled and over-worked. Stress can manifest in the body with increased muscle tension and sometimes pain. Stress can manifest in the mind with increased worry or anxiety. Swedish Massage helps to clear the body and mind of unwanted responses to stress.
Increase Flexibility> Swedish Massage will elongate the muscles, open the joints and decrease swelling, all of which will ease movement and increase flexibility.
Improve Blood Circulation> Massage dilates the blood vessels and widens the membrane pores in the body, improving your body’s ability to deliver fresh blood to muscles and organs.
Improve Mood> Research shows increased serotonin and dopamine in massage recipients, improving their mood and feeling of emotional well-being.
Flush out Metabolic Byproducts. As massage stimulates circulation, it flushes out lactic acid and uric acid that build up in muscles due to overuse.
Increase Range of Motion> Swedish Massage, incorporating stretching and range of motion techniques, will open and lubricate the joints for increased range and motion.
Supports Healthy Immunity> Because Swedish Massage also encourages the flow of lymphatic fluid, it increases immune cells that are produced in the lymph nodes.
Increase Nutrient Supply to Muscles> By increasing circulation, Swedish Massage increases the blood supply and nutrients to the muscles.
Increases Energy> Increased circulation also means more oxygen delivered through the body, resulting in a boost in energy.
Improve Sleep> Studies show that getting a massage increases serotonin levels in the body, so you can fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
Relieve Headaches> Many headaches or migraines are a result of stress and/or poor circulation. Swedish Massage relieves the stress associated with tension headaches and improves circulation.
What to Expect
When you come into Symmetry, you’ll fill out your personalized form to indicate any medical history, injuries, or physical conditions they should be aware of. This step is important, so it’s best to arrive 15 minutes early to give yourself enough time to focus on you.
​
LET’S GET TO KNOW YOU
You’ll then go over your personalized form with your therapist and discuss the areas of your body you'd like to address. Your session time includes 10 minutes for consultation.
GET COMFORTABLE
Your therapist will bring you into our treatment room, then will step out for a moment, allowing you to use the bathroom if needed, relax a bit, disrobe (to your comfort level) and lay onto a table underneath the top sheet and blanket. Ring the bell when you are ready for the therapist. During your massage, your therapist will only uncover the areas of your body they’re working on.
​
DURING YOUR MASSAGE
You can ask for either a full-body massage (for general relaxation) or a customized session focusing on specific parts of your body. And remember, your comfort matters. Feel free to talk with your therapist as much, or as little, as you wish.
​
STAY RELAXED
It’s important to relax your mind and muscles during your massage. Breathe normally and try not to tighten or contract your muscles. Maintain open lines of communication with your therapist if you’d like to provide feedback on their pressure or techniques.
WRAPPING UP
When your massage is complete, your therapist will wait outside while you dress. When you’re ready, they’ll return with you to the front and offer you a glass of water (it’s important to stay hydrated post-massage).
Difference Between Swedish Massage and Deep Tissue Massage
Swedish and deep tissue massage are both popular types of massage therapy that differ in pressure, technique, intended use, and focus areas.
​
About Swedish massage
Swedish massage is one of the most commonly offered massage techniques. It’s sometimes called a classic massage. The technique aims to promote relaxation by releasing muscle tension.
Swedish massage is gentler than deep tissue massage and better suited for people interested in relaxation and tension relief.
​
Swedish massage may loosen up tight muscles caused by daily activities such as sitting at the computer or exercising. It can be very helpful for people who hold a lot of tension in their:
lower back
shoulders
neck
​
​
What happens during a Swedish massage?
During a Swedish massage, therapists use:
kneading
long strokes
deep circular movements
passive joint movements
These techniques are meant to:
relax you
stimulate nerve endings
increase blood flow and lymph drainage
A traditional Swedish massage involves the whole body. You will begin on either your back or your stomach and flip over at the halfway point.
​
If you have an area of particular concern, such as a tight neck, you can ask your therapist to spend more time in this area. Depending on your preferences, you can ask your massage therapist to use light, medium, or firm pressure.
​
During most full-body massages, the expectation is you’ll be undressed. Your massage therapist will ask you to undress for your massage while they wait outside. It’s up to you whether or not to keep your underwear on.
​
Your massage therapist will drape a sheet over your body. They will pull back and adjust it as they work their way around. You will be covered most of the time.
Your massage therapist will use an oil or lotion to allow for smooth and long stokes. They may also ask if you have a preferred aromatherapy scent.
​
​
About deep tissue massage
Deep tissue massage is similar to Swedish massage, but it goes farther and is intended for a different purpose.
Deep tissue massage is best suited for:
athletes
runners
people with injuries
It can also work for people with chronic pain conditions such as:
lower back pain
Deep tissue massage targets the inner layers of your:
muscles
tendons
fascia, or dense connective tissue​
​Deep tissue massage uses many of the same stroking and kneading movements as Swedish massage, but there’s far more pressure. This pressure can sometimes be painful.
In order to reach the deep muscle tissue, a therapist will massage layer by layer of muscle, applying more and more pressure and employing special techniques with the fingers, fists, and maybe even elbows to reach and stretch that deep tissue.
​This type of massage facilitates healing by releasing contracted areas of muscle and tissue. It can help increase blood flow to the soft tissues and may help to reduce inflammation.
​
​What happens during a deep tissue massage?
Before a deep tissue massage, you will discuss your problem areas with your therapist. A deep tissue massage can be full-body or focused only on one area. You will begin lying on your back or stomach and under a sheet. It’s up to you to determine your level of undress.
​
Deep tissue massages begin as a more traditional relaxation massage. After the muscles are warmed up, your massage therapist will begin to work deep into your problem areas.
In addition to their palms, finger tips, and knuckles, your therapist may use their forearms or elbows to increase pressure.
​
It’s important to be open with your massage therapist about the level of pressure and discomfort you wish to endure. This may be different for certain areas and throughout the massage. Feel free to communicate with your massage therapist before and during the massage.
