Question 1

What should I do after a Swedish massage?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

What is a Swedish massage?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

Do Swedish massages hurt?

Accepted Answer

Not usually. A Swedish massage is more gentle than a deep tissue or Thai massage, so you shouldn’t feel any discomfort.

Question 7

What's the difference between a Swedish massage and a deep tissue massage?

Accepted Answer

Swedish massage uses lighter pressure with long, flowing strokes to relax the superficial muscle layers and ease general tension: ideal for relaxation and stress relief. Deep tissue massage uses slower, firmer pressure to reach the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, targeting chronic pain, knots and injury recovery. If you're new to massage or looking to unwind, Swedish is the better starting point. If you have specific muscle issues or chronic pain, deep tissue may be more effective.
