Swedish Massage Houston
One of the earliest forms of massage, Swedish massage is considered by many customers as the most relaxing of the main techniques. It’s a gentle, soothing, and relaxing technique which allows the mind to float and drift. Soft hands glide over the surface of the body and are molded to the body’s curves in a rhythmic motion increasing the body’s circulation.
At Massage Heights Houston, our Licensed Therapists (LMT) apply soft to firm pressure, utilizing kneading and friction in a range of smooth, deep and extended strokes, combined with movements in the joints and soft rocking—all of which delivers a session that is focused on your body’s unique needs, stress points, and tension areas, while invigorating your body and relaxing your mind of daily stresses.
Principle strokes of Swedish massage: Effleurage (soft touch) Petrissage (kneading) Tapotement (rhythmic tapping) Friction (compression) Vibration As with many therapy forms, Swedish is beneficial in lowering stress, increasing circulation, lowering pain, reducing joint stiffness, and stimulating endorphins (natural pain killers) into the body. One client commented, “I enjoy it the most because I come out glowing afterwards and feel like I am completely relaxed and calm—lost in my thoughts.”
Should you need a deeper more penetrating technique for more tense areas of your body, such as the shoulders, our therapists will switch techniques to ensure your session targets what you need.
