Swedish Massage


What is a Swedish massage?


Spacibo Therapeutic Massage” offers Swedish massage therapy for relaxation and Stress relief. Swedish massage shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. It increases circulation without increasing heart load. It stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and pliable.


The usual sequences of techniques are:

  4. Vibration: Oscillatory movements that shake or vibrate the body
  5. Percussion: Brisk hacking or tapping
  6. Passive and active movements: Bending and stretching

Our massage can boost the immune system by reducing the amount of cortisol; also known as the stress hormone, released in the body. Elevated levels of cortisol are a culprit of weight gain. The hormone attacks the body’s defensive cells that kill off bacteria and viruses, but a massage decreases the cortisol levels and therefore improves the functioning of the immune system.

Swedish massage is recognised as the first systematic method of modern massage in the Western world and remains one of the most popular massages for clients who never had a massage before. Our massage therapist will show you to a warmed, darkened room where you will be asked to undress and lie down on your front with just a light sheet covering your body. The therapist will work on one body part at a time, and will leave the rest of your body covered by the sheet for your privacy and comfort.


Studies show that during a massage, activity in the right lobe of the brain, which is more active when people are depressed, is decreased, and activity in the left lobe is increased. The left lobe is most active when people are happy, and massages kick that area of the brain into high gear.

Swedish massage feels good, is relaxing and invigorating. It affects the nerves, muscles, glands, and circulation, while promoting health and well-being. Contact us for more information at (954) 840-6680
