Swedish massage is well documented for reducing cortisol (the stress hormone), relieving muscle tension, improving blood circulation, boosting mood, supporting better sleep and promoting a general sense of relaxation and wellbeing. It's an ideal first massage for clients who are new to bodywork or those recovering from mental fatigue and everyday stress.

A Swedish massage is what Western countries call a classic massage. Therapists apply varying degrees of pressure to relieve aching and stressed muscle tissue using five types of long, fluid strokes: sliding (effleurage), kneading (petrissage), tapping (tapotement), rubbing, and vibration.

Rest and drink plenty of water. You should avoid having a hot shower, and expect to need the toilet more than usual as a result of your lymph circulation flushing out toxins.

If you are suffering from tension, sore muscles, or physical or emotional stress, you may benefit from receiving a Swedish massage.
