What happens during a Swedish Massage?

---

During a Swedish Massage, your Massage therapist will use kneading, long strokes, deep circular movements and passive joint movements to relax you, stimulate nerve endings, and increase blood flow and lymphatic drainage. At Fourward Health, we involve the whole body, where you will begin on your stomach working on your back and legs before turning you over and completing the session with a lovely Face & Head Massage.

Does a Swedish Massage hurt?

---

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?

---

During a Swedish Massage, your Fourward Health Massage therapist will ask you to undress for your Massage whilst they wait outside. We ask that you keep your underwear on and to drape one of our soft, white towels over yourself to ensure your modesty and privacy We may move the towel from time to time during the Massage as we move around the body, however we will always respect your privacy.
