How the strokes are delivered
This Swedish Massage uses massage oils to allow long, smooth, gliding strokes applied across the entire body. Oils reduce friction so the therapist can move continuously along muscles and soft tissues, maintaining rhythm and flow. The session emphasizes uninterrupted transitions between areas rather than isolated spot work, letting the hands cover large surface areas efficiently.
Pressure, speed, and contact are choices made during the session. Therapists will vary stroke depth and tempo to match your comfort and goals; you should communicate preferences. In a 90 MINUTES appointment there is time to pace those changes, revisit areas that need more attention, and preserve a consistent, unhurried flow across the body.
What to expect during session
A typical session begins with a brief intake and orientation so the therapist knows areas you want addressed and any limits. You will undress to your comfort level and be draped professionally; oils are applied as needed. Sessions focus on client comfort and modesty while allowing access to the areas selected for treatment.
Because the service is 90 MINUTES, there is room for a full head-to-toe sequence and additional time on priority regions. Therapists will check in about pressure and any sensitive spots. If you have skin reactions or allergies, mention them beforehand so the therapist can avoid or adjust products used during the session.
