Agree pressure and areas
Discuss comfort, health considerations, areas to avoid and how you will be covered.
Give feedback during the massage
The therapist works on the agreed soft tissues and adjusts pressure to your feedback. A massage should not require pushing through pain.
Preparation and aftercare
Before your appointment
- Mention recent injury, surgery, clotting concerns and any condition that may affect safe pressure.
- Tell the therapist about product sensitivities and the position in which you are comfortable.
After your appointment
- Take your time getting up and adjust activity to how you feel; massage is not a proven toxin-removal treatment.
- Persistent or concerning pain needs appropriate assessment. Do not use another massage to delay care for a medical problem.

FAQs
What is the main difference between Swedish and Deep Tissue massage?
Swedish massage uses gentler, longer gliding strokes designed for overall relaxation and circulation. Deep tissue massage uses firmer pressure and targeted cross-friction to break down deep, chronic muscle knots.
What should I wear during a Swedish massage?
You are draped securely with warm towels throughout your session. Most clients undress to their comfort level (wearing undergarments or removing them completely under proper draping).
Is Swedish massage suitable for massage beginners?
Yes! Swedish massage is the ideal choice for first-time massage clients because of its soothing, adaptable pressure and relaxing rhythm.
How long is a Swedish massage session?
We offer 60-minute and 90-minute full-body sessions, with 90 minutes providing extra time for dedicated shoulder and leg focus.
How often should I get a Swedish massage?
For optimal stress management and wellness maintenance, booking a Swedish massage once a month is highly recommended.
