Make an appointment for a massage.

Few things are as good for a stiff and tired body as laying down on a massage bench and getting treatment. Massage is a method that has been used for thousands of years in the Eastern holistic medicine tradition and is still a significant part of oriental bathing culture. Locals as well as tourists in Turkey flock to hammam for the soothing baths and relaxing massages. There are a variety of massage methods that are more or less profound and that affect the body in different ways. One of these methods is the one that is usually referred to as the classic Swedish massage. It is the method most common among Swedish masseurs and massage therapists, and is a massage form that goes deep into the muscles and gets circulation started.

Sports massage in Masthugget – a tougher version of massage

In connection with a classic massage, it is also common for the concept of sports massage to appear. Around Gothenburg you will find masseurs offering sports massages and Masthugget is no exception in this matter. But what is it that separates the sports massage from the classic Swedish massage? Simply put, if you have relaxation as the primary goal of the massage, then a classic massage is a good option. The treatment lowers stress levels in your body, dissolves tension and relieves pain in the neck and back. A sports massage is a massage method that speeds up the recovery of the body. If you are among those who train a lot and want to make sure that the body is properly recovered for the next intense workout or competition, the sports massage is the method that you should choose. During the sports massage, the massager on the muscles runs harder and faster, which makes the massage more felt than the classic one. The massage takes a little more on the head (you can get tired afterwards) and the body during treatment, but in return the muscles recover faster. Whether you're an office clerk or an athlete, the sports massage can be something for you and help you feel better.

If you do not think that a classic massage gives the effect that you are looking for, that is, that you feel that the pain and stiffness quickly come back, it may be worth trying sports massage. Before a massage treatment with a little tougher and more in-depth massage, you can ask the massager or massage therapist to focus on the area where you are in the most pain. A treatment of a limited pain area allows the masseur to focus more on that area and provide a deeper treatment of muscle knots and trigger points. By doing so, the masseur drives up more of the slag products that accumulate in the muscles. When these are released, the body can dispose of them through the urine. When you get a sports massage for the first time, you may get more or less prominent bruising on the body parts that the masseur has treated. It is nothing dangerous, the bruises occur as a result of the body clearing out slag products that have accumulated in the connective tissue and muscles. To help the body get rid of the slag products, it is important that you drink a lot of water after the massage treatment. This applies whether you choose a sports massage or a classic Swedish massage.

Is it possible to get a massage as pregnant?

The stresses and strains of pregnancy are not new. Many pregnant women experience fatigue and muscle tension in the lower back, and many sleep poorly at the beginning and end of pregnancy. It is widely believed that massage increases the risk of miscarriage, but there is no research to prove this. However, it is important to choose a masseur who is trained in therapeutic pregnancy massage. If the masseur does not have this training, there is a risk that the massage will exacerbate the problems that you were hoping the massage would alleviate. There are many good masseurs in Mastuhugget and other parts of Gothenburg. The city has one of Sweden's largest educational institutions offering massage training. You can go there to book a pregnancy massage that is adapted to your conditions. In late pregnancy, it is common to accumulate water in the body, something that a pregnancy massage can help to reduce. Once you have given birth and recovered from the birth, you can book a lymphatic massage. Lymphatic massage is a calm and gentle massage method that stimulates the body's lymphatic system and clears out waste products that easily accumulate in the connective tissue, the membrane that surrounds all the muscles, organs and cells of the body.
