What Is Swedish Massage?
Swedish massage is the foundation of modern European bodywork — and still the most widely requested treatment in professional spas worldwide.
Developed in the 19th century by Swedish physiologist Per Henrik Ling, it combines long gliding strokes, rhythmic kneading, and gentle percussion to relax the entire body from surface to deep muscle layer.
At Le Dôme Spa, our Swedish massage is delivered the European way: full-body, methodical, and genuinely therapeutic — not a hurried, surface-level sequence, but a structured session adapted to your body's specific needs on the day.
What Happens During Swedish Massage?
Effleurage
Long, flowing strokes that warm the tissue and open the session.
Petrissage
Kneading and compression that release built-up muscle tightness.
Tapotement
Rhythmic percussion that stimulates circulation and wakes the body.
Friction
Targeted pressure applied across the muscle fibres where you need it.

Muscle tension built up from office work, travel or physical activity that needs gently easing out of the body.
Gentle by choice

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Swedish massage?
Swedish massage is a full-body relaxation technique using long gliding strokes, kneading, and gentle percussion to release muscle tension and calm the nervous system. It is the most widely practised form of professional massage and the foundation of European spa tradition.
What are the benefits of Swedish massage?
The primary benefits include reduced muscle tension, improved blood circulation, lower cortisol (stress hormone) levels, better sleep quality, and a deep sense of physical and mental relaxation. Regular sessions also support immune function and overall well-being.
Is Swedish massage suitable for beginners?
Yes — Swedish massage is the ideal starting treatment for anyone new to professional bodywork. It is gentle enough to be deeply relaxing while still delivering genuine therapeutic benefit. Your therapist will discuss your preferences before the session begins.
How long is a Swedish massage session at Le Dôme Spa?
Sessions are available in 60-minute and 90-minute formats. When you book a 90-minute session, you also receive a complimentary 30-minute Hammam (Turkish or Moroccan bath). Every Wednesday, a 60-minute session comes with a free Moroccan bath.
How is Swedish massage different from deep tissue massage?
Swedish massage uses lighter, flowing pressure focused on relaxation and circulation. Deep tissue massage uses slower, firmer pressure targeting deeper muscle layers — ideal for chronic tension or specific pain points. Both are available at Le Dôme Spa.
Is the free Hammam included with a Swedish massage booking?
Yes, with a 90-minute booking. Every massage of 90 minutes or longer — including Swedish massage — comes with a complimentary 30-minute Hammam (Turkish or Moroccan bath). On Wednesdays, a 60-minute massage also includes a free Moroccan bath.
