Frequently Asked Questions About Swedish Massage
What is a Swedish relaxation massage?
Every one of the massage artists at Absolute Body Balance uses Swedish massage as the foundation for all of their therapeutic care. The classic technique for a Swedish massage uses long, flowing, broad strokes to promote (you guessed it) relaxation! This can be done with light, medium, or even deep pressure. There are five hallmark techniques used for every Swedish massage, including:
1. Effleurage
2. Petrissage
3. Tapotement
4. Friction
5. Vibration
Talk to your massage therapist before your session to discuss any issues you’re having. Therapists styles and pressure can vary so please be sure to communicate your individual needs and the therapist can make adjustments to pressure and technique as you learn what your body needs.
What’s the purpose of this type of massage?
The goal of your full Swedish body massage is to lengthen any of your tight muscles, release tension in your muscles and joints, increase circulation throughout your body, and promote an overall feeling of total relaxation. Our Swedish massage in Colorado Springs will focus on promoting a steady-flowing massage that is still meant to be therapeutic in nature.
Who can receive a Swedish relaxation massage?
This Swedish massage is great to start with if you are new to massage, only receive a sporadic massage, or just need to zone out for a little while. Think of this as a warm-up massage. You can often enhance your experience by adding aromatherapy and/or hot stones. You don’t run a marathon the first time on the treadmill!
Just about anyone can receive this type of full-body Swedish massage! Little ones with tension from sports, growing pains, and heavy back-packs to geriatric clients who may experience arthritis, and brittle bones, and everyone in between.
How often can I receive a Swedish relaxation massage?
While daily massages sound like a little piece of heaven, most people come in weekly, every two weeks, or monthly. Schedule a Swedish massage in Colorado Springs anytime you feel tension creeping into your shoulders (shoulders do not make great earrings!) The sooner you get in when you start feeling tight, the better. The trick is to be proactive before tension turns into pain and becomes more difficult to correct. Looking to mix it up? Try our hot stone massage!
How will I feel after my massage?
The ultimate goal of Swedish massage is to achieve next-level relaxation. Some of our clients are amazed when they complete their 60- or 90-minute session, only to be free from nagging aches and pains that are a result of constant tension or repetitive activities. Sometimes, your Swedish massage will create a boost of energy in your body because of the feel-good chemicals or hormones that are now flowing through you.
Experience a newly heightened awareness and a boost in what you can achieve in the days that follow. Be sure to drink plenty of water after your Swedish massage to help flush out toxins released from your soft tissue.
Should I undress for my massage?
We encourage every client disrobe to whatever level makes you feel most comfortable. When you visit Absolute Body Balance for a therapeutic Swedish massage or any other service, the goal is to have you feeling chill and refreshed, not nervous or anxious. If you’re having a full body massage, it is best to get undressed completely, but you’re welcome to leave your undergarments on. (It does work best if you remove your bra during your massage therapy session for those full uninterrupted, soothing strokes.)
Your massage therapist will give you privacy while you undress to your desired level and get positioned on the table under the sheets. If possible, try to remove jewelry like necklaces and bracelets as well. Modest and professional draping is part of every massage we offer for the best possible experience.
