Swedish / Relaxation Massage FAQs
Is Swedish massage too gentle to help with pain?
Swedish is about nervous system down-regulation. For chronic pain, you’ll likely want deep tissue or sports massage — but if your pain is tension-driven from stress, Swedish often resolves more than people expect.
What should I wear?
You’ll undress to your comfort level and be draped professionally at all times. Most clients go fully undressed under the sheet — only the area being worked is uncovered.
Can I request specific areas?
Absolutely. Even within a Swedish session we can focus extra time on your neck, back, or feet. Let your therapist know at intake.
How often should I book?
For maintenance, every 3–4 weeks is ideal. For stress management during a hard stretch of life, weekly for a month, then scale back.
Will I fall asleep?
Many clients do. It’s one of the highest compliments you can give your therapist.
