Swedish massage is the treatment most people picture when they hear the word massage, and the foundation on which most Western techniques are built. The therapist works with oil or lotion over the whole body using five classic movements: long gliding strokes (effleurage), kneading (petrissage), friction, rhythmic tapping (tapotement) and vibration. Pressure is light to medium and adjusted as the session goes on.
The aim is general rather than clinical. It eases everyday muscle tension, improves circulation and lymph flow, and settles the nervous system, which is why it is the usual recommendation for a first massage or for anyone whose main complaint is stress rather than a specific injury.
Sessions run 30, 60 or 90 minutes. Sixty is the standard for a full body; thirty covers back, neck and shoulders; ninety leaves time for the legs and feet to get proper attention. It is offered by almost every therapist and venue in the directory, in both studio and mobile formats.

Most work from their own treatment rooms rather than from studios, so incall is the norm and mobile appointments are offered by a minority, mostly to the hotels around the station and Wellington Place. The city centre covers the financial district and the gym trade, with sports and deep tissue the most requested treatments. Headingley and Chapel Allerton are residential, quieter and daytime-oriented, with a high proportion of therapists holding reflexology and holistic qualifications alongside massage.
