Welcome to Body Option Clinic, where we offer the best Swedish Massage Vancouver has to offer. Our experienced Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) are dedicated to providing high-quality massage therapy services to help you relax, rejuvenate, and restore your body and mind.
In Sweden, Swedish massage is commonly referred to as “classic massage,” representing the standard Western approach to massage therapy. It involves a whole-body treatment that works on soft tissues and muscles to restore health while creating a soothing and balancing effect on the nervous system. This popular massage therapy technique uses various strokes and movements to relax the entire body, promote relaxation, increase circulation, and improve muscle tone. At Body Option Clinic, our skilled RMTs are trained in providing a soothing and revitalizing Swedish Massage experience that will leave you feeling refreshed and renewed.
Our RMTs employ the following five techniques during a Swedish Massage session:
Developed by Per Henrik Ling, the Father of Swedish Massage, these techniques aim to enhance circulation, relax muscles, and promote overall relaxation. Swedish massage uses softer strokes on bony and delicate body parts and firmer strokes on areas with thicker muscle coverage, making it an ideal massage for relaxation.
Long, gliding strokes that help warm up the muscles and stimulate blood flow.
Kneading and squeezing motions that target deeper layers of muscle tissue.
Firm, circular rubbing movements that create heat and aid in breaking down muscle knots.
Rhythmic tapping or pounding motions that stimulate and energize the muscles.
Rapid shaking or vibrating movements that help to loosen muscle tension and promote relaxation.

Before your appointment, confirm with the spa about proper attire. The spa may provide disposable underwear, but you can also wear your own old clothes as oils and lotions used in massage can stain fabrics. Inform your therapist of any medical conditions or pregnancy concerns. Avoid heavy meals and alcohol in the hours leading up to your massage.
Swedish massages typically last 60 to 90 minutes. Your therapist will allow you time to undress privately and lie down on a padded massage table, where you can cover yourself with towels.
You will not be completely exposed at any point, as your therapist will uncover only the area they are working on. If you feel uncomfortable, speak up.
Your therapist may assess your skin type and choose essential oils or lotions accordingly. They will apply these using specific strokes and techniques tailored to your body and desired outcome.
The treatment takes into consideration any delicate or tender areas, ensuring a comfortable and soothing experience. Some therapists play music to help you relax, but you can request silence if you prefer. Communication preferences also vary; engage in conversation if you wish or enjoy a quiet session.
