PrimeVerified listingWhat is swedish massage?
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.

Where to find it in Manchester
The City Centre and Deansgate cluster around the office towers and the hotels, with a lunchtime trade in thirty-minute back treatments and an evening one in deep tissue for the gym crowd. The Northern Quarter is where the independent therapists and the Thai studios concentrate, and where hot stone, aromatherapy and holistic sessions are easiest to find. Salford Quays serves the media and business crowd at MediaCityUK, mostly by mobile appointment to hotels and offices, while Didsbury is residential, quieter and books further ahead.
