Get answers to common questions about Swedish or DT Massage - 60 min.

Yes. This 60-minute Swedish or Deep Tissue session is ideal for first-timers. Therapists use gentle Swedish techniques initially, and can gradually adjust pressure if you prefer deeper work. Communicate comfort levels at any time to ensure a safe, effective, and relaxing experience.

Pressure ranges from light to firm depending on your preference. Swedish work uses lighter, rhythmic strokes; deep tissue applies slower, firmer pressure to reach deeper muscle layers. Your therapist will check in regularly and tailor pressure for comfort while addressing specific tension areas.

Swedish focuses on long, flowing strokes to relax muscles and improve circulation, while deep tissue targets deeper layers with concentrated, slower pressure to release chronic knots. This service can shift between both styles to suit your goals and tolerance during the sixty-minute session.

Arrive a few minutes early to complete intake forms and discuss any areas of concern. Avoid heavy meals and excessive caffeine beforehand. Wear whatever feels comfortable; you’ll be draped appropriately. Communicate medical history and your pressure preferences with your therapist.

Certain conditions like fever, contagious skin rashes, recent surgeries, blood clots, or uncontrolled hypertension may contraindicate massage. Always disclose medications and medical history during booking. Our therapists can advise suitable modifications or recommend waiting until cleared by your healthcare provider.

Afterward you may feel relaxed, slightly achy, or energized—both are normal. Drink water to aid circulation and toxin elimination, and avoid intense exercise for 24 hours. If soreness persists beyond a couple of days, contact us to adjust future pressure or follow-up treatments.
