SWEDISH RELAXATION MASSAGE
For those looking to relax during their massage, this type of massage may be a good fit for you. The Aether Studio is a soothing environment, perfect to unwind and relieve stress with a Swedish relaxation massage.
What is Swedish Relaxation Massage?
For Swedish relaxation sessions, massage therapists use long soothing and flowing strokes, kneading, and circular motions to relieve tension, reduce stress, and enhance overall wellness by relaxing your nervous system.
The Benefits of
Swedish Relaxation Massage
Muscle Relaxation: Long strokes relieves tension in muscles and connective tissues for a feeling of deep relaxation
Reduced Stress: Relaxing touch calms the nervous system and boosts your mood by lowering cortisol levels and increasing serotonin and dopamine
Improved Blood Circulation: Enhancing blood flow helps supply nutrients and oxygen to the cells throughout your body for healing
Better Sleep Quality: Calming the nervous system promotes deeper and more restful sleep
Enhanced Flexibility: Loosens tight muscles which improves overall mobility and range of motion
Boosts Immune Function: Stress weakens the body’s defenses and reducing that enables better production of immune cells, helping you ward off illness
What to expect in a
Swedish Relaxation Session
Swedish relaxation massage is the most calming massage offering. In a session, you can expect a relaxing and rejuvenating experience from the atmosphere of the studio to the care your massage therapist provides. Essential oils and music will fill the space; the studio and the massage table will be heated to provide extra comfort.
Once you’re on the table, your massage therapist will use jojoba oil to reduce friction and moisturize and perform long soothing and flowing strokes, kneading, and circular motions to melt away any tension and stress throughout the outermost layer of muscle.
Tips for your Swedish Relaxation session:
Actually Relax: Let your massage therapist know what you need that day to truly rewind. For some this does mean chatting with your therapist, and for others it means taking a nap — your massage therapist will gently wake you and you can take your time rolling off the massage table.
Stay warm: Your body temperature will drop while at rest. If you’re feeling chilly, ask your massage therapist for an extra blanket or to turn the heat up. Staying warm not only keeps you comfortable, but it also is the best condition for your muscles to receive massage.
Be Comfortable: Communicate with your therapist if you need to adjust the blankets or bolster, would prefer different music or volumes, or anything else. If there’s something your massage therapist can do to make you even 1% more comfortable, please let us know.
Pair with an Add On: Hot Stones are relaxing and can passively alleviate tension. The Radiance and Glow Up Facial Treatments also pair well with a relaxation massage.
Who should receive
Swedish Relaxation Massage?
As the name suggests, Swedish relaxation massage is best for those who just need to chill. Targeting the entire nervous system, it’s perfect for those who are in a busy season of life, have added stressors, or are simply looking to unwind and rejuvenate — with the constant of daily life, everyone can benefit from this type of massage.
Swedish relaxation massage is one of the most popular types of massage therapy.
Comparing
Swedish Relaxation Massage
Swedish relaxation massage melts away stress, common muscle tightness, and encourages rest for the nervous system and entire body. Because this type of massage only works on the top layer of muscles and the goal is stress relief, massage in these sessions shouldn’t be the “hurts-so-good” kind. If you’re looking to really work out some knots and you want to “feel” your massage, perhaps a sports and deep tissue massage is better suited for you. If you’re looking for a more meditative experience that heals your physical, mental, and spiritual body, try Reiki energy work.
