What is Swedish Massage?

Swedish massage is the world's most popular massage modality and the foundation of all Western massage techniques. At GLOW Wellness Spa, our expert therapists have elevated this classic treatment to an art form, using five fundamental techniques — effleurage (long gliding strokes), petrissage (kneading), friction, tapotement (tapping) and vibration — to create a deeply relaxing, restorative experience.

Each session begins with a wellness consultation to understand your specific needs and areas of tension. Your therapist will then customise the pressure, rhythm and focus areas to deliver the most beneficial experience for your body on that day.

We use premium organic carrier oils infused with therapeutic-grade essential oils, carefully selected to enhance the relaxation response and nourish your skin throughout the treatment.
