Health Effects of Swedish Massage

According to the American Heart Association, nearly half of all adults with high blood pressure are women. A recent study found that Swedish massage significantly reduced blood pressure, heart rate and vascular endothelial adhesion (VCAM-1) in hypertensive women. Swedish massage is defined as using five styles of long, flowing strokes. The five basic strokes are effleurage (sliding or gliding), petrissage (kneading), tapotement (rhythmic tapping), friction (cross fiber) and vibration/shaking.

Most doctors will tell you the real secret is simply maintaining your health so you can continue to do the things you enjoy as you enter into those "golden years."

Exercise and Mental Strength

Researchers have recently determined that exercise can influence the performance of various mental tasks. For example, during a 20-minute session of moderate intensity aerobic exercise, improved cognitive function can be seen in areas such as planning, scheduling and coordination of people, places and events.
