FAQs

What does a full-body Swedish massage include?

A full-body Swedish massage typically covers the back, neck, shoulders, arms, legs, and feet. The therapist will use various techniques, including long gliding strokes, kneading, and circular motions, to provide a comprehensive and relaxing experience.

Why is a Swedish massage called a Swedish massage?

Swedish Massage, known as "classic massage" in Sweden, is a technique developed by Swedish physiologist Pehr Henrik Ling in the early 19th century. It's named "Swedish" due to the system of "Swedish Movements" he developed, which were adopted and popularized outside of Sweden by Dutch practitioner Johan Georg Mezger. Today, it's often simply referred to as Swedish massage.

What to avoid after a Swedish massage?

After a Swedish massage, it's recommended to avoid heavy meals, excessive physical exertion, and consuming alcohol. It's important to allow your body time to rest and fully benefit from the relaxation achieved during the massage.

How intense is a Swedish massage?

Swedish massage typically uses gentle to moderate pressure, focusing on relaxation rather than deep tissue work. However, the intensity can be adjusted based on your preferences and needs. Communicate with your therapist to ensure the pressure is suitable for you.

What is an alternative to Swedish massage?

Deep tissue massage and sports massage are popular alternatives to Swedish massage. These techniques are more focused on addressing specific areas of muscle tension and are beneficial for those seeking deeper pressure and therapeutic benefits.

How often should you get a Swedish massage?

The frequency of Swedish massage sessions depends on individual needs and preferences. For general relaxation and maintenance, a monthly or bi-monthly session can be beneficial. However, you can discuss with your therapist to determine the ideal frequency based on your specific goals and conditions.

What should you not do before a Swedish massage?

Before a Swedish massage, avoid consuming a large meal, excessive caffeine, or any substances that might interfere with relaxation. It's also best to arrive with clean skin, free from lotions or oils.

Does a Swedish massage remove knots?

While Swedish massage can help release muscle tension and alleviate knots to some extent, it is primarily known for promoting relaxation and overall well-being. For more targeted knot removal, deep tissue massage may be a more appropriate option.

What mental benefits does a Swedish massage have?

Swedish massage has several mental benefits, including reducing stress and anxiety, promoting relaxation, improving sleep quality, and enhancing overall mental clarity and well-being.

Is Swedish massage good for anxiety?

Yes, Swedish massage can be highly beneficial for anxiety relief. The soothing strokes, relaxation response, and release of endorphins during the massage can help reduce anxiety, promote calmness, and improve overall mental well-being.
