What is Swedish Massage?

Swedish massage is one of the most common and well-known therapies, marked by fluid strokes along the body, rhythmic tapping, friction, and gentle kneading. The massage increases oxygenation and blood flow to the muscles, naturally reducing stress and helping your body let go of tension. This massage therapy alleviates pain by releasing tightness from head to toe, making it ideal for aching, sore muscles.

Our expert massage therapists recommend Swedish massage to improve circulation, de-stress, or relieve muscle tension after an injury or chronic pain flare-up. Swedish massage uses less pressure than other massage therapies and is best suited for those who wish to target specific muscles without the intensity of deep tissue work. Whether you aim to improve your overall well-being or reset after a tough week, our Swedish massage in Chicago, IL, will help you reach deep physical and mental relief.

What to Expect at Hand & Stone

When you arrive for your first massage therapy session at Hand & Stone, your therapist will review your needs, preferences, and health concerns. Whether you have areas of tension you want to focus on, sensitive spots you’d rather avoid, or medical conditions that may affect treatment, your therapist will take note and tweak your massage accordingly. During future visits, we’ll tweak your experience to suit your changing needs and ensure you always receive thoughtful, tailored care. Your massage will be conducted in a peaceful, private room, complete with adjustable sound and lighting controls, a heated massage table draped with fresh linens, and a plush blanket for your comfort. If you have any additional requests, concerns, or questions during your massage, your therapist will do their best to accommodate them. Add one of our aromatherapy or facial treatments to further enhance your relaxation.
