What is a Swedish massage?

A Swedish massage is a firm, energising form of massage.

Swedish massage includes several different techniques, including:

  • Long deep rhythmic movements
  • Light brushing movements
  • Strong deep work
  • Tapping
  • Kneading
  • Cupping

What is it useful for?

The effect of hour-long Swedish massage treatment can be euphoric. It is a great massage to reduce stress, improve circulation and reduce tension in knotty shoulders.

When you get a massage, be a mindful massage client. 

As the therapist brings attention to different parts of your body with different touch-types, observe how the body and mind respond to the different sensations. 

These different Swedish massage techniques help us stay present, and the very act of being present is part of the healing process. Let the process wash over you.
