What is Swedish Massage?

Swedish massage is one of the most common and well-known therapies, marked by fluid strokes along the body, light kneading, friction, and rhythmic tapping. The massage increases blood flow and oxygenation to the muscles, gently reducing stress and helping you 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 to those who want to target specific muscles without the intensity of deep tissue work. Whether you aim to reset after a long week or improve your overall well-being, our Swedish massage in Chicago, IL, will help you reach deep mental and physical relief.

What to Expect at Hand & Stone

When you arrive for your first massage therapy session with 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 your treatment, your therapist will listen and tweak your massage accordingly. During future visits, we’ll adjust 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 light and sound controls, a heated massage table draped with fresh linens, and a plush blanket for your comfort. If you have any additional requests, questions, or concerns during your massage, your therapist will do their best to accommodate them. To further enhance your relaxation, add one of our aromatherapy or facial treatments to your experience.
