As a Swedish Massage will help relieve muscle aches, pains and tenderness, you may experience some discomfort during the Massage, as we are releasing some tension in the body, but it should never be painful. At any time, you can ask your Fourward Health Massage therapist to use light, medium or firm pressure.

What should I wear?
