Swedish Massage Benefits

Swedish massage involves a combination of long strokes, kneading, and friction techniques applied to the surface layers of muscles. This treatment is designed to relax the body by stimulating circulation, which helps bring fresh oxygen to the tissues and eliminate built-up toxins.


The benefits of Swedish massage can include improved circulation, reduced stress levels, and enhanced flexibility. It can also help decrease muscle tension, alleviate aches and pains, and improve the range of motion in joints. Many people also report finding Swedish massage helpful in managing anxiety, depression, and insomnia.


At Essy K Counselling & Wellness Hub in Lake Macquarie, I offer Swedish massage as a holistic approach to improving both your physical and emotional well-being. Each session is tailored to your specific needs, ensuring a personalised experience that helps you relax and rejuvenate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Contact Us
  • What should I do to prepare for a Swedish massage?

    To prepare for a Swedish massage, it is important to arrive early and let the massage therapist know about any existing medical conditions. It is also important to discuss what areas need special attention or if there are any pressure points that should be avoided. Make sure you're comfortable with the type of massage oils and lotions that will be used and explain any allergies you may have. Lastly, wear comfortable clothing that is easy to move around in and that won't restrict your range of motion during the massage.

  • What shouldn't I do prior to getting a Swedish massage?

    When preparing to get a Swedish massage, there are some important things you should avoid doing. First, it is always best to avoid eating a heavy meal prior to your massage as this can make you feel uncomfortable while lying on the table. You should also avoid drinking alcohol before your appointment as it can lead to dehydration which can cause a decrease in the benefits of massage. Lastly, it is important to avoid using any lotions or oils prior to your appointment as they can interfere with the therapist’s ability to perform a deep tissue massage. 

  • How are regular and Swedish massages different?

    The main difference between regular and Swedish massages is the techniques used. During a regular massage, the therapist often focuses on releasing tension with kneading strokes. However, during a Swedish massage, the therapist combines several techniques to relax the muscles, improve circulation and release toxins from the body. The five different strokes are:  


    1. Effleurage (gliding) 
    2. Petrissage (kneading) 
    3. Friction 
    4. Tapotement (tapping) 
    5. Vibration
