Swedish Massage

It is the most relaxing of all of the massage services. Swedish Massage (Relaxation Massage) will easily put you in the “massage zone” or fall asleep, whichever comes first.

Swedish massage therapy is one of the most commonly taught and well-known massage techniques, designed to calm and relax the body. Five basic massage strokes, all flowing toward the heart, manipulate the body’s soft tissues and help tight muscles. A sheet covers the disrobed client, with only the specific area being worked on exposed. Therapists use a combination of gliding, kneading, rolling, vibrational, percussive, and tapping movements with oil to reduce skin friction. The many benefits of Swedish massage include generalized relaxation, dissolution of scar tissue adhesions, and improved blood circulation, which may speed healing and reduce swelling from injury.

What Does Swedish Massage Therapy Do?

Swedish massage is the perfect treatment to unwind as it is one of the most relaxing massage types.

Swedish massage is less invasive than a deep-tissue massage. It is more suitable for those who are looking for relaxation and tension relief. A way to improve your overall well-being.

What Does a Full Body Swedish Massage Include?

A full-body massage includes techniques like

• Friction
• Kneading
• Stroking
• Effleurage
• Percussion

In a full body 60-minute massage, your skilled massage therapist typically starts with either the hands or the neck. It will include the hands and arms, neck and shoulders, face and head, legs, feet, back, and hips. It can consist of the stomach if you request it. Any of these body parts can be excluded if you’d prefer, and the therapist will adjust the pressure according to your sensitivity and preference.

What Can I Expect From My First Swedish Massage?

Before you arrive for your massage, you will want to fill out your health intake form so we can be sure the massage therapists are fully prepared. You will also want to arrive a few minutes early to use the restroom and talk briefly with your therapist about what you want to accomplish in your massage. For example, do you want to relax, or do you have pain somewhere?

The licensed massage therapist may say to get undressed to your comfort level. This means that if you want to keep your clothes on, you can. However, the massage feels the best when we can apply oil on the skin and glide over the body. So, most people will leave their underwear bottoms on.

The practitioner will leave the room to allow you time to prepare privately. You will lie down on the massage table under the top sheet. We respect your modesty and will keep you draped.

Once the practitioner returns to the room, they will start the massage and may chit-chat a bit to make you feel comfortable.

A Swedish Massage should never hurt. If at any point it does, please say something.

When the massage is complete, the therapist will let you know it’s time to get up. After they exit the room, you can get dressed and go to the front desk to pay and rebook!

May treat back pain and neck pain

Swedish Massage relaxes the muscles, which will, in many cases, eliminate aches and pains.

Increase blood flow

The massage techniques and directionality of the moves are specifically used to help increase blood flow. This means that your muscles are getting more oxygen and blood and can better eliminate waste.

Stress Relief

Massage helps decrease the stress hormone cortisol, flushing it out of your system and causing deep relaxation.

Boost the Immune System

The immune system is vital to the body’s defense against illness and infection. Massage can help to improve immune function by reducing stress levels and promoting relaxation. Stress can harm the immune system, making people more susceptible to illness. Massage can help by promoting the release of feel-good hormones such as endorphins and serotonin. These hormones help to boost mood and promote relaxation, which can, in turn, help to support immune function. In addition, massage can also help to improve circulation, which allows the immune system to better defend against invading pathogens. Massage is a gentle and effective way to support the immune system and overall wellness.
