So, you might be wondering: what exactly does a Swedish massage include? Well, let me break it down for you:

Long, smooth strokes that follow the direction of your blood flow

Kneading and circular movements to relieve muscle tension

Passive joint movements to increase flexibility

Vibrations and percussion to invigorate your body


Sounds pretty good, right? But what does a Swedish massage do?

For starters, it can help improve your circulation, reduce muscle tension, and promote relaxation. Plus, it just feels darn good.


Now, you might be wondering: what's the difference between a Swedish massage and a regular massage?

Well, Swedish massage is actually one of the most common types of massage, so you could say it is a regular massage. But compared to other types of massage, it tends to be gentler and more focused on relaxation.


If you decide to give our "Unwind" Swedish massage a try, here's what you can expect:

A warm and welcoming atmosphere

A comfortable, heated massage table with soft linens

Soothing music and aromatherapy to enhance your relaxation

A skilled massage therapist who will customize the massage to your needs


Now, who should not get a Swedish massage?

It is one of the best ways to jump into giving massage a try. This makes it great for just about everyone, but if you have any medical conditions or concerns, it's always a good idea to check with your doctor before getting a massage. Additionally, if you have any injuries or areas of sensitivity, be sure to let your massage therapist know.


And what about the disadvantages of a Swedish massage?

Well, if you're looking for a deep tissue massage or a more intense therapy, Swedish massage might not be the best fit for you. But if you're looking to unwind and destress, it's a great option. If you are interested in learning more about the differences between deep tissue and Swedish massages, check out our post where we dive deep into this exact topic.


Finally, let's talk about what not to do during a massage.

It's important to communicate with your massage therapist about your comfort level and any areas of sensitivity. Additionally, try to avoid eating a heavy meal or consuming alcohol before your massage, as it could interfere with your relaxation.
