The benchmark for holistic bodily renewal. Long gliding strokes, muscular kneading, and gentle friction to improve blood flow and dispel fatigue.
Swedish Massage is renowned worldwide for its balanced synthesis of therapeutic anatomy and soothing tactile movement. Developed to encourage the flow of oxygenated blood toward the heart, it focuses on the superficial and mid-layers of muscular tissue.
At ANAYA, our therapists employ warm herbalized oils and five signature Swedish strokes: effleurage (smooth gliding strokes), petrissage (gentle kneading of muscles), friction (deep circular pressure to break tension), tapotement (light rhythmic tapping), and vibration.
Your appointment begins with a brief dialogue regarding your comfort and focus zones. Warm oils are systematically applied starting from the back, transitioning down the legs, and finishing with the arms, neck, and shoulders. You have access to an attached private hot shower afterward to freshen up effortlessly.
Disposable hygiene garments are provided in your private suite. You are draped with clean, fresh sheets throughout the session.
Yes, Swedish massage effectively softens moderate muscle knots. If you have severe, chronic knots, we may recommend our Deep Tissue therapy instead.
