Swedish Massage

Promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and improves your overall well-being
60 Mins: £55     80 Mins: £75

Woman receiving Ayurvedic Back, Neck & Shoulder Massage at Starling Holistic in Arborfield near Reading
If you're experiencing any kind of tension or pain in your shoulders, back, or neck, you might be interested in exploring the many benefits of a Swedish massage. This type of massage is one of the most popular and well-known massage techniques in the world, thanks to its ability to help people feel deeply relaxed and restored.
 The beauty of Swedish massage is in its simplicity. The massage technique is designed to work on the superficial muscles in the body, using a series of long, gliding movements to release tension and promote relaxation. During a Swedish massage, pressure is applied to areas of the body that are tense or painful, using techniques such as using hands, thumbs, forearms, and elbows.
 
One of the key benefits of Swedish massage is its ability to improve circulation. By increasing blood flow to the tissues, this type of massage can help to reduce muscle stiffness and promote healing. It can also help to stimulate the lymphatic system, which is responsible for removing waste and toxins from the body.
 
Swedish massage is also a great way to relieve stress and anxiety. By promoting relaxation, it can help to calm the mind and ease the symptoms of tension and anxiety. It can even help to promote better sleep, which is essential for overall health and well-being.
 
When receiving a Swedish massage, it's typical to lay down on a massage table while the massage focuses on your back, neck, shoulders, arms, and legs. The movements are slow and rhythmic, and the pressure can be adjusted to suit your needs. To help the hands glide smoothly over the skin during a Swedish massage, unscented oil, like grapeseed oil, may be used.
 
At the end of your Swedish massage, you'll likely feel deeply relaxed and refreshed. Your muscles will feel looser and more flexible, and you may even feel a sense of calm and inner peace. This type of massage is a great way to take some time for yourself and prioritize your own well-being.
 
If you're interested in booking a Swedish massage, it's important to find a qualified and experienced massage therapist. At Starling Holistic, I customise the massage to your individual needs and preferences, ensuring that you get the most out of your session. A typical Swedish massage session lasts around 60 minutes, but this can vary depending on your needs. I also offer an 80 minute treatment.
 
Swedish massage is a highly effective and enjoyable way to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve your overall well-being. Whether you're dealing with muscle tension, stress, or anxiety, a Swedish massage can help to soothe your body and calm your mind. So why not book a session today and experience the many benefits for yourself?
