A Swedish massage is the most common and best-known type of massage. It involves long, fluid strokes of muscles and tissues with pressure that varies from light to medium to firm. This type of massage is considered to be one of the most relaxing styles. Your massage therapist at Hand & Stone will adjust the pressure according to your sensitivity and preference.
What to Expect during Your Massage
Enjoy the gentle, soothing touch of a Swedish massage in Highlands Ranch, CO. This type of treatment comes from ancient Chinese techniques and a French doctor who traveled to China in the 16th century. It is an effective approach that focuses on stretching muscles and applying pressure to specific areas. Using sweeping strokes or gentle kneading, we massage your body to enhance circulation and blood flow to large muscle groups. A Swedish massage offers many benefits, including:
- Pain Management
- Increased Blood Flow
- Rehabilitation for Muscle Injuries
- Increased Flexibility
- Reduced Stress
- Improved Immune System
Typically, when performing a Swedish massage, we’ll have you lie on your stomach with clothes removed and a towel draped over you to maintain privacy. If you're uncomfortable removing all of your clothes, you may keep some items on. Once you are ready, we then slowly progress through several techniques to massage your neck, back, arms, and legs. When finished, we may ask you to turn over so we can focus on other sore or tense areas. Let us know if there are muscles you'd like us to focus on or even avoid. And always give us feedback during the massage. After all, we want you to feel relaxed and comfortable.
