Swedish Massage

Relax, Recharge, and Unwind with a Classic Swedish Massage

If your goal is to simply ease the tension of the week and achieve deep relaxation, a Swedish Massage at A Plus Massage Therapeutic & Wellness is the perfect choice. This foundational modality is known globally as the gold standard for full-body relaxation.

What is a Swedish Massage?

Unlike deep tissue work which targets deeper muscle layers, the Swedish technique is a lighter, traditional approach. It primary goals are to calm the nervous system and melt away physical stress.

The Technique

The main strokes used in a Swedish Massage involve long, gliding motions (effleurage) mixed with varying pressure and kneading movements (petrissage). These synchronized techniques are performed on the superficial layers of muscle in the direction of blood flow returning to the heart. Your expert therapist will adjust the pressure and specific areas of focus to perfectly match your personal preferences and needs.
