A typical full-body session will include work on your back, arms, legs, feet, hands, head, neck, and shoulders. In a standard Swedish massage, your session may begin with broad flowing strokes that calm your nervous system and relax muscle tension. As your body becomes relaxed, massage pressure will gradually increase to relax specific areas and relieve deeper muscular tension. Typically, a full body massage requires about one hour minimum. A half hour appointment allows time for a partial massage, such as neck and shoulders, or feet and legs.
Many people prefer a one hour session for optimal relaxation.
Allow extra relaxation time prior to and after the session. Let yourself be comfortable. Many close their eyes and gently relax. Feel free to ask questions about the massage process or particular technique you are receiving. You could feel freedom from long-term aches and pains that were developed from repetitive activity.
