Swedish Massage
What is a Swedish Massage
A Swedish massage is a full-body manual therapy that uses light to medium pressure to help you rest, relax, and replenish.
What to Expect
Typically, your Swedish massage will last 60 to 90 minutes, but we also offer longer sessions. Please arrive 10 minutes before your session to allow time for a thorough consultation and to settle into the treatment room.
During your consultation, we will discuss your areas of concern, pressure preferences, and any precautions we need to be aware of.
After your consultation, your therapist will leave the treatment room so you can undress to your comfort level in private and get onto the table under the sheet and blanket. Draping is mandatory; you may not remove the sheets if you are not wearing clothing.
When your session begins, your therapist typically starts with lighter techniques and gradually increases pressure until they reach your perfect pressure.
Your therapist will periodically ask you how you are feeling and if the pressure is good. Let them know if you feel uncomfortable for any reason, and they will do their best to accommodate you.
Benefits of Swedish Massage
Receiving Swedish massage regularly promotes relaxation, reduces stress, improves sleep quality, supports immune function and circulation, and enhances well-being.
You may also experience reduced acute and chronic pain, anxiety, and mental fatigue. Although relaxation massage is not as vigorous or firm as deep tissue massage, it can improve range of motion, support recovery for tired and tight muscles, and improve your quality of life when facing ongoing health challenges.
Add-ons
- Lavender Massage: Fall in love with life as you are massaged with lavender-infused oil. Lavender is known to help reduce stress and anxiety, promote sleep and ease, and soothe sore, stiff, and achy muscles. And, at the end of your session, you are going to smell delightful indeed.
- Back Scrub: If you want your back to feel soft, smooth, and supple, enhance your session with this magnificent add-on. Soft granules polish the skin, lift away dullness, and help your back feel clean and renewed.
- Foot Scrub: If your feet feel dry, tired, or a little neglected, this add-on can help smooth rough areas, encouraging a soft, clean, and refreshed feeling in your feet.
- Hot Stone Massage: Feel the stress of your day melt away as you are massaged and pampered with hot stones.
- Scalp Massage: If your head feels tight, overstimulated, or you are simply in need of some extra pampering, enhance your session with this scalp-soothing add-on.
Massage Self-Care Tips
- Give yourself some time to rest and replenish after your relaxation massage.
- Enjoy some light movement or gentle stretching to enhance the benefits of your session.
- Avoid alcohol and limit caffeine for the rest of the day.
- Treat yourself to a warm bath or a pleasant shower.
- Discomfort after a Swedish tissue massage can occur; this may be the effects of delayed-onset muscle soreness from reversing cortical smudging and will pass in a few days.
