Swedish Therapy
Swedish Therapy
We offer a variety of facial services to suit your individual skin care needs.
Here are the details of the Swedish Therapy service typically offered:
Consultation: The session often begins with a brief consultation between you and the massage therapist. During this time, you can discuss any specific concerns, areas of tension, or medical conditions that may affect the massage treatment.
Preparation: You'll be given privacy to undress to your comfort level and lie down on a massage table, typically draped with sheets or towels for warmth and modesty. The therapist will leave the room momentarily to allow you to prepare.
Choice of Oil: You may have the option to choose a massage oil or lotion for your session. Unscented options are typically available, but you may also have the choice of scented oils if you prefer aromatherapy.
Techniques:
Effleurage: Long, gliding strokes with the palms, thumbs, or fingertips are used to warm up the muscles and prepare them for deeper work.
Petrissage: Kneading and squeezing motions are applied to release muscle tension and improve circulation.
Friction: Circular movements with the fingertips or thumbs target specific areas of tension to break up knots and adhesions.
Tapotement: Rhythmic tapping, chopping, or percussion movements stimulate the muscles and invigorate the body.
Vibration: Fine trembling or shaking motions are applied to loosen tight muscles and promote relaxation.
Adjustment to Pressure: The therapist will check in with you regarding the pressure being applied to ensure it's comfortable and effective. You can communicate any preferences for lighter or deeper pressure throughout the session.
Focus Areas: The therapist may focus on specific areas of tension or discomfort that you've identified during the consultation. Common areas include the back, shoulders, neck, and legs, but the session can be customized to address your individual needs.
Relaxation: As the massage progresses, you'll likely start to feel deeply relaxed. Soft music, dim lighting, and the soothing touch of the therapist contribute to a tranquil atmosphere conducive to relaxation.
Closing: Towards the end of the session, the therapist will gradually transition out of the massage strokes, allowing you time to reorient yourself before getting up from the table.
Aftercare Advice: The therapist may provide aftercare advice, such as staying hydrated, avoiding strenuous activity immediately after the massage, and recommendations for stretches or self-care techniques to maintain the benefits of the massage.
Payment and Scheduling: Once the session is complete, you'll have the opportunity to schedule future appointments if desired and settle payment for the service.
