Swedish Massage

At Castle Clinic, we have a choice of a 30 minute session or a 60 minute session.

During your Swedish massage, you can expect the therapist to use a combination of techniques, including long gliding strokes, kneading, circular pressure and tapping movements. The therapist will use massage oil or lotion to facilitate smooth movements.

To prepare for a Swedish massage, it's best to arrive a few minutes early so that you can relax in the waiting room before hand. It's also helpful to stay hydrated, avoid heavy meals right before the session and empty your bladder to help with your comfort during your massage appointment.

Yes, you typically undress to your comfort level and lie on the massage table under a towel. The massage therapist will leave the room whilst you undress and will only uncover the part of your body being worked on, ensuring your privacy and comfort throughout the session.

Absolutely! At Castle Clinic, your Swedish massage will be customised to focus on specific areas of discomfort or to provide a general relaxation experience. Communicate your preferences and any areas of concern to your massage therapist before the session begins.

Swedish massage is generally suitable for most people, but it's important to discuss any health conditions or concerns with your therapist beforehand. Pregnant women, individuals with certain medical conditions such as cancer, or those recovering from surgery should consult their doctor before getting a massage.

After a Swedish massage, it's important to drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins released during the massage. Resting and taking it easy for the remainder of the day can also help maximise the benefits of the massage. Avoid strenuous activities and heavy meals immediately after the session.
