Many benefits of Swedish massage

Swedish massage is both relaxing and invigorating – an excellent way to reduce tension and achieve a sense of overall wellbeing. Swedish is often called classic massage. A 60-minute session allows for a full body massage, while 30 minutes is enough time to work on a group of muscles, such as a back, neck and shoulder massage.

Swedish bodywork is best performed on a soft massage table, in a relaxing atmosphere. The strokes relax individual muscles, while the overall experience eases mental stress. Sessions can target specific areas of moderate pain, like a mild lower back ache, or help manage conditions such as arthritis.

The strokes used improve circulation and increase body-wide relaxation, aligned with the circulatory system to help drain metabolic waste from the arms and legs. Swedish massage can also break up muscle adhesions and support the healthy healing of scar tissue – working out the knots that accompany injured muscles, and helping the muscles return to their normal, healthy state.

Swedish massage aftercare

Swedish massage detoxifies the body. To fully benefit from this effect, drink plenty of water and avoid nicotine and alcohol in the hours after your massage. Excessive exercise should also be avoided shortly after treatment – try to rest and keep warm.

Swedish massage FAQ

How does Swedish massage differ from deep tissue massage?

Swedish massage uses long, gliding strokes at a moderate pressure to relax muscles and improve circulation, making it ideal for stress relief and general wellbeing. Deep tissue and sports massage use firmer, more targeted pressure to work on specific areas of chronic tension or pain.

How long does a Swedish massage session take?

A 30-minute session covers the back, neck and shoulders. A 60-minute session allows time for a full body massage.

Is Swedish massage suitable for first-time clients?

Yes – it's one of the most popular treatments for anyone new to massage, as the pressure is gentle to moderate and easily adjusted to your comfort level.

How to find Viola Beauty Massage Body Contouring

My Edinburgh massage treatment room is located in Newington, 5min walk from the Meadows, and a couple minutes more from the Commonwealth Pool. This studio has been known under a couple of names in different locations around Edinburgh South and Edinburgh City Centre as I was exploring different location opportunities. This is my page and it gives you the most up-to-date information. You can find me on Parkside Street and if you cycle or drive to locations in Edinburgh City Centre and Newington you have likely cycled right past this quiet street. It is quite easy to reach me by Edinburgh public transport or by car (pay and display spaces right outside the door).
