Swedish massage is a popular and widely practiced form of therapeutic massage that aims to promote relaxation, alleviate muscle tension and enhance overall well-being.
Employing a combination of gentle gliding strokes, kneading, tapping, friction, and stretching, this massage targets the superficial layers of muscles. The primary goal of Swedish massage is to encourage relaxation, improved blood circulation, ease muscle knots, and reduce stress and tension.
During a Swedish massage session, our massage therapist typically uses a choice of Absolute Aromas pre-blended aromatherapy oils to facilitate a more relaxing experience combined with smooth and fluid movements across the body using effleurage, petrissage, kneading and Tapotement techniques. You can choose from Detox, Refresh, De-stress and Mobility oils. The therapist's hands, palms and fingertips will be used to deliver varying degrees of pressure, catering to the individual's preferences and specific areas of tension. The strokes employed in Swedish massage not only promote relaxation but also assist in the removal of metabolic waste products from muscles and tissues, thereby contributing to improved physical and mental well-being.
