Swedish Massage in Newark-on-Trent
A relaxing massage to ease tension and help you feel more at ease
Swedish massage is a gentle-to-moderate full-body massage designed to promote relaxation, ease everyday muscle tension, and leave you feeling refreshed.
Whether you've had a stressful week, spend long hours at a desk or simply want some time to switch off and look after yourself, your treatment will be adapted to your individual preferences and needs.
What Is Swedish Massage?
Swedish massage is one of the most widely recognised forms of massage therapy. It uses flowing movements, kneading and other techniques across the muscles to encourage relaxation and ease general muscular tension.
The pressure can be adapted to your preference, so your treatment doesn't have to be either extremely light or uncomfortably deep.
At Flexi-Move, I don't follow exactly the same routine with every client. We'll discuss what you're looking for before your treatment so the session feels right for you.
Who Might Benefit From Swedish Massage?
Swedish massage may be a good option if you're looking to:
- Relax and unwind
- Reduce everyday muscle tension
- Take time away from a busy routine
- Ease general aches and stiffness
- Feel less tense after desk-based work
- Support your general wellbeing
- Enjoy a gentler massage experience
If you're experiencing persistent or more specific muscular discomfort, another treatment such as therapeutic or deep tissue massage may be more appropriate. If you're unsure, we can discuss your needs before treatment.

FAQs
Is Swedish massage suitable if I've never had a massage before?
Yes. Swedish massage can be a good introduction to massage because the pressure and pace can be adjusted to your comfort level. I'll explain what to expect before we begin.
Is Swedish massage painful?
It shouldn't be. Swedish massage is generally a gentler style of massage, and I'll adjust the pressure according to your preferences and needs.
How much pressure is used?
Pressure can range from light to moderate and can be adjusted during the appointment. If you prefer firmer or lighter pressure, just let me know.
How long does a Swedish massage take?
Sessions are available in 45, 60 and 90 min. The most appropriate duration depends on what you'd like to focus on.
How often should I have a Swedish massage?
There's no set schedule that suits everyone. Some people book occasionally when they feel they need time to relax, while others prefer regular treatments as part of their wellbeing routine.
Can Swedish massage help with back or shoulder tension?
It may help ease general muscular tension in these areas. If you're experiencing persistent or more specific discomfort, a therapeutic or deep tissue approach may be more suitable.
