Swedish Massage Therapy in Leawood

Feel Your Best and Achieve More

Swedish massage, often referred to as the "relaxation massage," is a perfect choice for Leawood residents seeking to unwind, de-stress, and improve their overall well-being. 

Here at Massage Heights Leawood, our skilled massage therapists provide a customized Swedish massage experience that promotes deep relaxation and offers a range of therapeutic benefits.

Benefits of Swedish Massage

  • Reduced Muscle Tension: Through a combination of long, flowing strokes, kneading, and friction techniques, Swedish massage helps ease muscle tension and stiffness, leaving you feeling looser and more mobile.
  • Improved Circulation: Swedish massage techniques stimulate blood flow throughout the body, which can help deliver oxygen and nutrients to your muscles and tissues, promoting healing and overall health.
  • Stress Relief and Relaxation: Swedish massage is a powerful tool for de-stressing and promoting relaxation. It can help to calm your mind, ease anxiety, and improve your sleep quality.
  • Pain Management: Whether you're dealing with chronic pain conditions or the occasional ache, Swedish massage can help. It stimulates the release of endorphins, which are the body's natural painkillers, providing relief from discomfort.
  • Enhanced Immune Function: Regular Swedish massage sessions can boost your immune system by increasing the activity of white blood cells that help fight off infection and disease.
  • Better Sleep: Many people find that Swedish massage helps them sleep better. The relaxation techniques used can ease insomnia and promote deeper, more restorative sleep.
  • Detoxification: The increased blood flow and lymphatic drainage stimulated by Swedish massage can help remove toxins from the body, leading to improved overall health and vitality.
  • Skin Health: The massage techniques used can improve skin tone and texture by increasing circulation and promoting the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the skin.

 

What Does a Swedish Full Body Massage Include?

  • Relaxation strokes: The massage therapist will begin with long, smooth gliding strokes (effleurage) to warm up the muscles and promote relaxation.
  • Kneading strokes: The therapist will then use deeper kneading strokes (petrissage) to loosen tight muscles and improve circulation.
  • Friction strokes: These strokes focus on specific areas of tension and use friction to break down adhesions and scar tissue.
  • Tapotement strokes: These short, tapping strokes may be used to stimulate the nervous system and energize the body.
  • Vibration strokes: The therapist may use vibration to relax the muscles and improve circulation.

The massage will typically focus on the back, neck, shoulders, legs, arms, and feet. The therapist may also massage the head and scalp if requested.
