What is Swedish Massage?
Swedish massage is the most common and best-known type of massage therapy. It's a gentle, relaxing massage that uses long, flowing strokes to ease tension and promote relaxation throughout the entire body.

After Your Massage
Following your Swedish massage, you should feel deeply relaxed. It's normal to feel slightly sleepy or very calm. We recommend:
- Drinking plenty of water to help flush out released toxins
- Taking it easy for the rest of the day
- Avoiding strenuous exercise immediately after
- Enjoying the sense of calm and wellbeing
Some people experience mild muscle soreness the next day, similar to after gentle exercise. This is normal and should pass within 24 hours.
