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.

A good number of therapists listed here also cover Derby and Leicester, both around half an hour away, and will quote a mobile visit to either if asked. The Lace Market holds most of the central treatment rooms, in converted warehouse buildings within walking distance of the station, and is the best area for deep tissue and sports work. West Bridgford is residential and popular for daytime appointments, particularly pregnancy and relaxing massage; Beeston serves the university area with a younger clientele and lower rates.
