Massage in Stockholm: Fascia as the Key to Physical and Mental Well-being

Bodily benefits

Using a rhythmic combination of pressure and stretching techniques, the tension in the muscles and skin is worked out. Massaging the muscles increases their movement and elasticity, thus increasing the mobility of the joints. Massage is said to prevent muscle tears and reduce the healing time of injuries, as well as being mentally relaxing.

Mental benefits

Massage also affects mental health by reducing stress and improving concentration. This is because the secretion of endorphins and oxytocin increases during massage.

Fascia: The road to a better life

The FasciaClinics in Stockholm is not an ordinary massage clinic. Here, every treatment is unique as we treat the fascia, the body’s largest organ. The fascia is an extensive network of connective tissue that connects all cells, muscles, organs and joints with each other. The fascia contains a large amount of collagen and a gel-like substance. If the fascia becomes dense, the flow in the ground substance can decrease. This can lead to increased pressure on surrounding structures and also affect the ability of cell membranes to absorb and release substances. A densified fascia can thus affect all the body’s systems and thus reduce our quality of life. The fascia also contains a large part of our pain receptors. If the fascia becomes densified, the pain receptors will be exposed to constant teasing and respond by emitting pain signals.

Lymphatic massage in Stockholm

Lymphatic massage is a gentle and calm form of massage that focuses on stimulating and improving the body’s lymphatic system. It has a detoxifying effect and is particularly beneficial for people suffering from swelling and edema.

Fascia surrounds all cells, including those that make up our lymphatic system. A treatment at the FasciaClinics removes tension and increases flow in the ground substance. This means that every fascia treatment will stimulate the lymphatic system.

Connective tissue massage in Stockholm

Connective tissue massage is an in-depth form of massage that focuses on releasing tension in the connective tissue, thereby promoting better mobility. By working in depth, this form of massage can reduce pain and lead to a more harmonious and balanced body. However, connective tissue massage can be a painful experience and can also put a lot of strain on the therapist.

Fascia treatment, unlike connective tissue massage, is often pleasant and does not cause burning or redness afterwards. The treatment also reaches the deeper layers of fascia in the body. There is also no need to undress, and the therapist also puts less strain on their hands and fingers.

Pregnancy massage in Stockholm

Pregnancy massage is specifically designed to meet the unique needs that arise during pregnancy. Focusing on relieving muscle tension, reducing swelling and improving circulation, it promotes a more comfortable and balanced pregnancy.

A fascia therapist at the FasciaClinics in Stockholm is experienced in treating and understanding a pregnant woman’s body. The treatment is adapted to the changes a pregnant woman undergoes. Posture is corrected and tension around the pelvis is relieved.

Tactile Massage in Stockholm

Tactile massage is a soft and gentle massage technique that focuses primarily on gentle rhythmic strokes on the skin. This form of massage is more to reduce stress and promote mental relaxation than to release muscular tension.

Fascia treatment is often experienced as very relaxing. The treatment rarely hurts, and the manual treatment techniques increase the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system. In addition, the treatment is done with clothes on and no oil is used.

LPG Massage in Stockholm

LPG massage is often used for aesthetic purposes such as cellulite treatment, but it also has benefits for the fascia. The technique helps to improve circulation in both the blood and lymphatic systems, resulting in more elastic and healthy connective tissue. However, LPG works more like a ‘spot treatment’, treating the symptoms but not the cause.

A fascia treatment treats the body as a whole. We can treat the entire lymphatic system to reduce cellulite more quickly and to prevent it from recurring.

Gua Sha Massage in Stockholm

Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese technique used to release blockages in the fascia and improve circulation. This is done using a specially designed scraper that is pulled over the skin. The skin can get large red scratches from the treatment and you often feel tired and sluggish afterwards.

Fascia treatment leaves no marks on the body and is performed with clothes on. The whole body is taken into account and the cause of the blockage is identified.

Sports massage in Stockholm

Sports massage is aimed at treating and preventing injuries that can occur during sports and exercise. By focusing on treating more deeply than Swedish classical massage, performance and recovery can be optimized. Sports massage can be experienced as quite painful and it is not uncommon to feel sluggish afterwards. The treatment can also put a lot of strain on the masseur’s body.

Fascia treatment reaches deeper and is more gentle than sports massage. It avoids the discomfort and pain of the hard grips of sports massage. A therapist also puts less strain on their body.

Trochanteritis Massage in Stockholm

Trochanteritis massage specializes in treating the pain and inflammation associated with trochanteritis. By working on the muscles and hip joints, the treatment can provide relief and improved mobility.

Fascia therapy balances the whole body and aligns the pelvis. This reduces the strain on the greater trochanter and the rest of the body. Massage only treats the sore muscles but not the primary misalignment in the body that causes the condition.

Heel spur massage in Stockholm

Heel spur massage focuses on massaging the bottom of the foot and calf, where the heel spur occurs. The treatment aims to reduce inflammation and pain, while promoting faster healing.

In fascia treatment of heel spurs, the primary crookedness of the body that causes the overload of the plantar fascia is treated. The treatment also focuses on reducing pain and tension in the plantar fascia.

Sciatica Massage in Stockholm

Sciatica massage is aimed at relieving pain and discomfort caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve. By working the muscles in the affected area, pain can be reduced and mobility improved.

During a fascia treatment, the pelvis is adjusted and the load on the vertebrae is reduced to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve. Posture is also corrected as the spine regains a more natural curve. The body’s healing process is promoted so that pain and inflammation can be reduced more quickly.

Vagus Nerve Massage in Stockholm

Massage of the vagus nerve should increase its activity. The vagus nerve plays a key role in the body’s parasympathetic nervous system. The focus is on massaging areas close to the vagus nerve such as the base of the skull, neck and shoulders. It can help reduce stress, improve digestion and create a sense of general well-being.

Fascia therapy increases the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system with gentle manual methods and body balancing. We do not work with hard pressures and stretches that go against the anatomy and physiology of the body.

Deep wave massage in Stockholm

Fascia clinics use a deep wave machine. Mechanical vibrations are used to reach the deeper layers of the fascia. This can help release tension and blockages, promoting a more balanced and harmonious body. It also makes it easier for cells to absorb and release substances.

NBE Massage in Stockholm

NBE (Nannic Beautifying Energy) is a modern form of skin rejuvenation that combines manual techniques with mechanical ones. The method is dermatological tested and based on scientific evidence.

Fascia improves circulation and cell function throughout the body. It makes it easier for cells to absorb and release substances through their cell membranes. Fascia treatment can thus improve the skin’s circulation and renewal process.

Neck Block Massage in Stockholm

Neck pain is a painful condition that can be relieved with massage. By focusing on the muscles of the neck and upper back, tension and pain in the neck can be reduced.

In a fascia treatment, we adjust the pelvis and release tension along the entire spine so the neck lock does not come back. We also reduce muscle tension around the neck and chest.

Back Massage in Stockholm

Back massage is one of the most popular forms of massage. It focuses on the back muscles, but sometimes the neck and shoulders can also be massaged.

A fascia treatment balances the whole spine to avoid recurrent back pain. The pelvis is adjusted as a large part of the back muscles attach to it. We also work with the abdominal muscles, which we know can have a direct impact on back pain.

Tennis Elbow Massage in Stockholm

Tennis elbow is a common condition in today’s society. The focus is on massaging the muscles around the elbow but sometimes also the whole arm and shoulder.

Fascia treatment takes into account that there is a primary imbalance in the body that can spread imbalances further, making it easier for muscles and tendons to become overstretched. We balance the body so that these structures can be loaded more evenly, reducing the risk of injury and strain.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Massage in Stockholm

Carpal tunnel syndrome affects people who work a lot with their hands but it can also affect pregnant women. Massage for carpal tunnel syndrome is often to soften tissues around the median nerve that may be pressing.

Fascia treatment reduces the pressure on the fascia around the median nerve. The neck and shoulders are also examined to reduce the strain on the upper limbs. The function of the lymphatic system is also reviewed.

Herniated Disc Massage in Stockholm

Herniated discs can be a painful and limiting condition. No deep massage where the herniated disc is located and around the area is performed. If the herniated disc is pinching nerves, massage of certain areas below the herniated disc should be avoided.

Fascia treament aligns the pelvis and evens out the tension on the vertebrae. This relieves pressure on the discs and prevents new herniated discs from forming.

Fibromyalgia Massage in Stockholm

Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition that can benefit from a massage. So-called fibromassage is specifically intended for people with fibromyalgia. The treatment is often gentle and performed with light strokes on the body.

The fascia contains many free nerve endings that send pain signals when exposed to pressure. Fascia treatment dissolves the constrictions so that the pressure on the free nerve endings is reduced. People with fibromyalgia can therefore benefit greatly from fascia therapy.

Muscle Rheumatism Massage in Stockholm

Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory disease that can lead to a lot of pain and discomfort. Massage can benefit those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis as it increases blood circulation and reduces waste products.

Fascia treatment also increases blood circulation and reduces waste products, but the treatment reaches deeper and the whole body is treated. The treatment is also done with your clothes on and you do not get oily.

Frozen Shoulder Massage in Stockholm

Frozen shoulder is a condition that limits mobility in the shoulder joint. By massaging the muscles around the shoulder, tension can be reduced, circulation increased and mobility improved.

The FasciaClinics has done a study on Frozen shoulder that has given good results. They used the Swedish Fasciainnovation treatment machine from Atlasbalans, which provides deep massage with gentle oscillating vibrations in a sine wave. Compared to a massage gun, the machine does not hit or hammer the tissue. Fascia treatment for frozen shoulder is thus an effective and gentle treatment method for people with frozen shoulder.

Osteoarthritis Massage in Stockholm

Osteoarthritis is a common joint disease that mainly affects older people. Massage can reduce pain and improve mobility in the affected joints.

Fascia theratment removes the tightening of the fascia around the joints and increases circulation in the affected areas.

So, no matter what type of pain, discomfort or specific health goal you have, the FasciaClinics in Stockholm have a treatment that suits you. Welcome to the world of fascia-focused wellness!
