What is Swing Pillow Massage?
Many suffer from issues like a misaligned pelvis due to accidents, falls, or uneven strains. Such misalignment often results in the improper positioning of the spine and its adjacent joints, leading to tension, pain, and various other complications. Additionally, it may cause a discrepancy in leg lengths. In Swing Pillow Massage, patients lie on their stomach on a swing pillow filled with air. Gentle swinging movements are then initiated, which help to mobilise the spine and joints while stretching the muscles, boosting blood circulation, and correcting the spinal alignment.
How does Swing Pillow Massage work?
The treatment starts with addressing any pelvic tilt through targeted stretching exercises, known as the basic alignment of the spine. Following this, the spine receives passive, rhythmic treatment on an air cushion. The dynamic torsion created during this process allows the spinal muscles to relax, which helps the intervertebral discs to absorb fluid and regain their functional size. These techniques also assist in realigning displaced vertebrae, relaxing overstrained muscles and ligaments, and dissolving blockages in the soft tissues, joints, and energy pathways. This ensures better organ function and alleviates pain. Furthermore, Swing Pillow Massage has proven effective in aiding the rehabilitation process following injuries and surgeries, accelerating recovery and enhancing functional abilities.
