Swedish massage

During a typical Swedish massage treatment your therapist will use some or all of these types of massage techniques:

  • Effleurage; smooth, long, continuous strokes
  • Petrissage; kneading, muscle and skin rolling, wringing, picking up and vibrations
  • Frictions; circular movements using the thumbs where pressure is gently increased
  • Tapotement; hacking and cupping

The use of these will be tailored to how you want to feel after the massage – for example relaxed, invigorated or an improved sense of wellbeing – as well as if you have any specific areas that require more attention –  tightness of the shoulders for example.

Swedish massage is particularly good for:

  • Improving your circulation
  • The removal of toxins from tense, knotted muscles into the lymph system
  • Reducing muscular tensions
  • Encouraging relaxation
  • Improving your range of motion and flexibility
  • Boosting the immune system

What you need to know before your treatment:

  • You’ll need to complete a Consultation form so the treatment can be tailored to you and any medical conditions or health issues can be highlighted.  This will only take a few minutes.  You can view a copy of this online to check if there are any areas you want to discuss beforehand.
  • Clothing will need to be removed depending on what area of the body you wish to be treated, but underwear is to be kept on.
  • Don’t have a heavy meal or consume alcohol before your treatment.
