Swedish massage is one of the most common and well-known types of massage available, marked by long, gliding strokes along the body, rhythmic tapping, friction, and gentle kneading. The massage is designed to increase blood flow and oxygenation to the muscles, reducing stress and relaxing the body from head to toe. This type of massage therapy helps alleviate pain by releasing muscle tension, making it the ideal choice for those with sore and aching muscles.
We recommend a Swedish massage to those who want to relax, improve circulation, or relieve muscle tension after an injury or bout of pain. The Swedish massage uses less pressure than a deep tissue massage and is suitable for those who wish to target specific muscles with a less intense massage therapy. Whether you’re looking to de-stress after a long week or enhance your overall well-being, our Swedish massage in Costa Mesa, CA, is the perfect way to reach a state of deep relaxation and physical relief.
What to Expect in Your Massage Therapy Session
When you arrive for your first Swedish massage therapy session at Hand & Stone, your massage therapist will consult with you about your specific needs, preferences, and concerns. Whether you have areas of tension you’d like to focus on, sensitive spots you’d prefer to avoid, or medical conditions that could affect your treatment, your massage therapist will craft a customized session to promote your well-being and peace of mind. During future visits to our spa, we’ll continue to adjust your treatment plan as needed, addressing any changes in your needs to ensure you always receive thoughtful, tailored care.
Your massage will always be conducted in a peaceful, private room, complete with adjustable sound and lighting controls, a heated massage table draped with crisp linens, and a plush blanket for your comfort. If you have any additional requests or concerns during your massage, your therapist will do their best to accommodate them. Be sure to ask about our other services, like our facials and hair removal treatments, to further enhance your relaxation.
