Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is performed through a series of specific manipulations that include muscle kneading, friction, tapping and sometimes vibration. Movements are generally fluid and performed with oil or lotion to facilitate gliding and reduce friction on the skin. 

This technique aims to work the superficial layer of the muscles to improve blood and lymph circulation, relax muscles and relieve body tension. 

The massage therapist adjusts the pressure according to the client's needs and preferences, ensuring an experience that is both relaxing and therapeutic.

It's usually advisable to receive a relaxing Swedish massage once a month to maintain its benefits.

However, depending on your specific needs and physical conditions, more frequent sessions may be beneficial, especially in cases of high stress or chronic pain.

To get the most out of your massage, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing and hydrating properly before the session. Avoid eating a heavy meal just before your appointment to maximize your comfort and the effectiveness of the massage.

While Swedish massage is safe for most people, certain conditions, such as acute inflammation, skin infections or severe circulatory disorders, may require prior consultation with a healthcare professional.

When deciding between a deep tissue massage and a relaxing Swedish massage, consider the following aspects to guide your choice:

Deep Tissue Massage

• Purpose: Ideal for addressing specific problems such as chronic muscle pain, tension, and issues like recovery from injury.
• Technique: Utilizes slow, deliberate strokes that focus pressure on layers of muscles, tendons, or other tissues deep under your skin.
• Benefits: Helps with muscle injuries, such as back sprain, and can reduce chronic pain.

Swedish Massage

• Purpose: Best for those looking for relaxation and tension relief.
• Technique: Features gentle, long strokes, kneading, deep circular movements, vibration, and tapping to help relax and energize you.
• Benefits: Enhances blood circulation, eases muscle tension, and improves flexibility.

Each type of massage offers distinct benefits, so your choice should be based on your specific health needs and relaxation preferences.
