Swedish body massage uses flowing, rhythmic strokes across the whole body to ease tension, improve circulation and help you relax. At The Therapy Studio in Rimington a 60-minute treatment is £65 and a 90-minute treatment is £85.
What to expect
Warm oils, flowing strokes and a pressure level you choose. Back, legs, arms, neck and shoulders are usually included, and you can ask for particular areas to be given more time.
There is no rush at the end of the appointment; the studio does not run back-to-back conveyor-belt bookings.
Who it suits
Anyone who is stressed, sleeping badly or simply overdue an hour to themselves. It is also a gentler option if deep tissue work feels like too much.
Swedish massage can be combined with aromatherapy oils if you would like that.

Aftercare and what to expect
- •Drink water and give yourself a quiet evening if you can.
- •Oils are left on the skin; plan a shower later rather than straight after.
- •Tell Steph about any pressure preferences at the start, not at the end.
