Swedish massage uses long, smooth strokes and light-to-medium pressure across the full body. It is the session to book when you want to switch off completely, not work out deep muscle knots, but let accumulated tension go.

The strokes follow the direction of blood flow back to the heart, which improves circulation and leaves muscles feeling lighter. Sessions cover the back, shoulders, legs, and arms. Pressure is adjusted to what feels right for you.

Tell the therapist at the start and they calibrate throughout. If you have been carrying stress for weeks and your body feels heavy and tight everywhere, Swedish is the one to start with.
