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.

To minimise your emotional and physical stress, consider booking in for a Swedish massage once or twice a fortnight.

Swedish massage is the most widely practised massage style in the Western world. It uses five core techniques: long gliding strokes (effleurage), kneading (petrissage), rhythmic tapping (tapotement), friction and vibration: applied to the superficial muscle layers using oil or lotion. Sessions typically last 60–90 minutes and are designed primarily for relaxation, stress relief and general wellbeing. It's the most common entry point for first-time massage clients.
