Swedish massage, where and how should I get it?

Sitting in front of the computer all day makes your shoulders stiff, eyes dim, and legs heavy as if they are swollen. On a day like this, I desperately want to get a massage. One of them is the Swedish massage, which is popular with many people these days.

Swedish is more than just pressing and relaxing muscles, it's a gentle, rhythmic massage with aroma oil. It's a perfect treatment for busy modern people because it relieves tension, helps with blood circulation, and relaxes the mind and body. However, it can be rather uncomfortable or ineffective if you get it anywhere. So how do you find a good Swedish massage shop?

✔️ First, reviews of people who have visited in person are treasure trove

These days, you can easily get information by just searching well. Try various things, including Naver reviews, Google reviews, and Instagram hashtags. Rather than just having a high horoscope, it's important to find a place where reviews are constantly coming up and detailed explanations are provided. For example, if there's a review like "The massage was meticulous" or "I was really comfortable because the room temperature and music were good," it's pretty reliable.

Above all, it's also important to make sure you have recent reviews, as long as you have old reviews, your recent operational status may have changed.

✔️ Second, massage skills are basic

Swedish is a massage that requires skill. You need to understand the flow of muscles, nerves, and blood flow, not just hand gestures, to see the real effect. That's why it's a good idea to check the manager's experience and qualifications. These days, the manager's information is well provided on the shop website, blog, and reservation app.

A quick consultation before the massage is also a good sign. If you ask about your physical condition or check the part you want to receive intensively, chances are high that you will receive customized care.

✔️ Third, the atmosphere of the space is as important as the massage

If you go for a massage, and the towels are damp or there are a lot of clutter in the room, no matter how good your touch is, you will feel uncomfortable. Clean and quiet space, comfortable music and scent... These details come together and it's really healing.

I can feel it just by looking at the pictures, but if possible, it's a good idea to ask about the shop's atmosphere by calling or sending a message before visiting. Questions such as "Is there a room for individuals?" and "Is there a shower facility?" can be asked, of course.

✔️ Fourth, 'Composition' is more important than price

The price of a swaddish massage varies by hour. Usually, it's divided into 60, 90 and 120 minutes courses. What's important is how much massage you actually get. In some places, the 60-minute course will only take 45 minutes for the actual massage, while the rest will be preparation time. Although it may seem cheap at first, poor content will make it a loss.

So, before you make a reservation, check the composition, services, options, etc. carefully. You can use it more fully by asking if foot baths, aroma selection, stretching, etc. are included.

✔️ Fifth, let's think about the location and movement

After the massage, I feel tired and calm. That's why taking the crowded subway or walking for a long time immediately reduces healing by half. Especially for office workers, it is recommended to find a place that is easy to stop by after work, or one that you can receive near your home on weekends.

If you're going to use a car, you should also check the availability of parking. Surprisingly, there are a lot of people who feel uncomfortable saying, "We've arrived, but there's nowhere to park." Rather than being too remote, it's a smart choice to choose a shop that's accessible and quiet.

I'll wrap it up...

A Swedish massage is not just a massage. It is a time to give full rest to my body and mind. So I have to choose more carefully and meticulously. A good Swedish shop is a "rest" in itself. The manager's touch, the atmosphere of the space, and the composition of the service are all combined to complete the real healing.

At first, it might feel a little annoying and difficult, but once you find a place you're satisfied with, you can continue to visit and take care of yourself. Start today, a small investment for your body in a busy daily life.
