What Is a Swedish Massage?

Swedish massage is one of the most common and well-known therapies, marked by fluid strokes along the body, light kneading, friction, and rhythmic tapping. The massage is designed to increase oxygenation and blood flow to your muscles, gently reducing stress and helping your body let go of tension. This massage therapy alleviates pain as it releases tightness from head to toe, making it ideal for those experiencing sore, aching muscles.

Our expert massage therapists recommend a Swedish massage to those who want to de-stress, improve circulation, or relieve muscle tension after an injury or chronic pain flare-up. Swedish massage uses less pressure than other massage therapies and is best suited to those who want to target specific muscles without the intensity of deep tissue work. Whether you’re looking to improve your overall well-being or recenter yourself after a tough week, our Swedish massage in Chesapeake, VA, will help you reach a state of deep physical and mental relaxation.

What to Expect at Your Massage Therapy Session

When you arrive for your first massage therapy session at Hand & Stone, your therapist will consult you on your needs, preferences, and health concerns. Whether you have areas of tension you want to focus on, sensitive spots you’d rather avoid, or medical conditions that may affect your treatment, your therapist will take notes and build a customized session for your unique circumstances. During future visits, we’ll adjust your treatment plan to accommodate your changing needs and ensure you always receive thoughtful, tailored care. Your massage will be conducted in a peaceful, private room, complete with adjustable lighting and sound controls, a heated massage table draped with fresh linens, and a plush blanket for your comfort. If you have any additional questions, concerns, or requests during your massage, your therapist will do their best to accommodate them. To enhance your relaxation even further, add one of our aromatherapy or facial treatments to your session.
