Swedish Massage Therapy in Boulder, CO

Swedish massage is generally considered a gentle and nurturing form of massage, making it suitable for a wide range of individuals, including those who are new to massage therapy or who prefer a more relaxing experience. This is often a great place to start if you have never had a massage before, feeling overworked,  or are looking to decrease stress. The pressure applied during a Swedish massage can be adjusted to meet the client's preferences, ranging from light to moderate. It's important to communicate your specific needs and any discomfort to the massage therapist to ensure a comfortable and effective session.


This is a technique that uses a combination of gentle, broad strokes to decrease muscle tension and increase relaxation. The therapist uses oil or lotion directly on the skin and generally works from head to toe to release muscle tension or muscle adhesions. Typically the massage will be a full body focus, but you can have your Boulder Massage Therapist focus on a specific area upon request.


Benefits of Swedish massage:

  • Relaxation: Swedish massage is primarily designed to promote relaxation and reduce stress. It can induce a sense of calm and tranquility, making it an excellent choice for individuals seeking relief from everyday tension.

  • Improved circulation: The various massage strokes in a Swedish massage help stimulate blood flow and lymphatic drainage, which can aid in the removal of metabolic waste products from the muscles and contribute to overall health.

  • Muscle tension relief: The gentle kneading and friction techniques used in Swedish massage can help release muscle tension and knots, reducing muscle stiffness and discomfort.

  • Enhanced flexibility and mobility: Through the combination of effleurage and stretching, Swedish massage can help improve range of motion and flexibility.

  • Pain relief: While Swedish massage is not as deep as some other therapeutic techniques like deep tissue massage, it can still provide relief from minor aches and pains.

  • Improved sleep: Many people find that Swedish massage can lead to better sleep quality and an overall sense of well-being, which can be particularly beneficial for those struggling with sleep disturbances.

Swedish Massage Therapy for Car Accident Pain:

Car accidents are incredibly damaging to the muscles, ligaments, fascia, and soft tissues of your neck and back. Using Swedish massage therapy can be a fantastic way to relax the overstimulated nervous system, and gently decrease muscle tension and restore normal muscle integrity. Often our body responds to injuries such as whiplash by spasming the muscles to protect the injured area. While this is functional in the short term, muscle spasming after a car accident can lead to other injuries as compensations begin to form. Our massage therapists can help restore normal muscle tension with different styles of massage. Massage is often a great addition to any car accident recovery plan and is often fully covered by your car insurance. Call us for more information.

If you were recently in an automobile accident, you may be able to have your massages fully covered by your automotive insurance!
