What is Swedish Massage?
Swedish massage is a relaxation massage encompassing a full body experience. It helps to clear the body and mind of unwanted responses to stress, promotes relaxation, improves circulation and soothes aching muscles. The massage technique consists of stroking, kneading, rubbing, tapping and vibrating.
The Technique
Also known as classical massage, Swedish massage offers softer touches on more delicate areas of the body, focusing on the top layers of muscles, and some firmer strokes on areas with greater muscular density. This provides a truly relaxing and rejuvenating experience.
What to expect
Before your treatment, we listen to your massage needs and concerns, discuss any information regarding your health history and give you the opportunity to ask
During your massage we engage in a regular dialogue to better understand your pain threshold and balance the “pain-pleasure” experience.
You’re given time and private space to undress. Your level of undress is always your decision and should be based upon your comfort levels. Blankets and towels are provided and used to cover areas that aren’t being massaged. If, for any reason, you’d prefer to avoid particular parts of your body being exposed, you just need to let us know.
We tailor every massage to your personal needs. This involves planning in advance and also at times implementing various techniques such as Trigger Point therapy* and breathing exercises.
*Trigger Point therapy identifies the area of muscle spasm or tension, which is often located in the belly of the muscle then applying a constant pressure followed by slow release.
During the first part of your massage, your muscles are always warmed up and prepared with light touch methods. This is followed by stripping and friction techniques to break down “knots” and adhesion. These techniques use a combination of kneading and stroking, with varying degrees of pressure.
We will review progress with you at the beginning and end of every session.
Did you know?
At first touch, our heart rate slows down by 10 beats per minute and our blood pressure lowers by 8%. The stress hormone, cortisol, lowers too. This leaves the body in a state of bliss with the rise of feel-good hormones like serotonin, endorphins and dopamine. Since dopamine plays a key role in motivation, it goes to say massage can motivate too.
