Calm your mind and body with Deep Tissue Healing’s Swedish massage in Utah. We use a firm but gentle pressure to help ease muscle tension and relax you.
The essence of a Swedish Massage is to soothe the nervous system and improve blood circulation throughout the body, using long flowing massage strokes, expert hot towel placements and warm organic coconut oil. Light to medium pressure can be expected throughout the session, and tailored to the clients specific needs and goals. This service also allows for Add Ons to enhance the treatment, we recommend the Mini Hot Stone add on as well as the Hemp Seed Pain Relief.
If it’s your first time getting a massage, *Swedish massage is the perfect place to start.
During Swedish massage, our massage therapists use warm organic oils to facilitate smooth, gliding strokes which soothe and calm the mind and body.
Swedish massage uses firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension, and create a sense of total well–being.
Generally during Swedish massage you’re nude underneath a towel or sheet. The therapist uncovers only the part of the body he/she is working on; a technique called “draping”.
Feel free to state your preference for pressure during Swedish massage. It can range from light to a bit firmer. Swedish massage usually includes some deeper work on areas of specific muscle tension. If you want more intensive work and firmer pressure, a deep tissue massage is recommended.
* Swedish massage was pioneered by a Swedish physiologist, Henri Peter Ling, at the University of Stockholm in 1812. It was introduced to the U.S. in 1858 as “The Swedish Movement Cure.” Swedish massage is the foundation for other types of Western massage, including sports massage, deep tissue massage and aromatherapy massage.
If you feel you need the healing effects of deeper pressure, you may want to consider a Deep Tissue massage.
