A hidden comma in the city center, a Swedish massage in Seoul

The city of Seoul never sleeps. In the midst of the streets where the lights don't go out until dawn, the endless ringing of notifications, and the fast-changing speed, we are getting tired. One day while living such a hectic life, suddenly I thought, "Me, when was the last time you had a good rest?"

I made an impulsive reservation for a massage that day. A Swedish massage that I've only heard of before. I thought it was an oil-based Western massage, but I've never actually received one, so I went to a shop in Gangnam, Seoul with a little excitement and anticipation.

The space where we face each other. The healing that begins

As soon as I entered the shop, I could hear the subtle aroma and calm music. As soon as I closed the door, I could not hear any loud noise from the outside. It felt as if I had broken off the bustle of the city for a while and entered a completely different world. When I entered the quiet room under the guidance of the staff, I found a warm sheeted bed waiting under soft lighting.

A Swedish massage does not press hard or stretch just like a tie massage. Instead, it is a way to slowly apply oil all over your body, and relax your muscles with long, soft strokes. I felt a little ticklish at the beginning of the massage, but as time went on, I got deeper and deeper into relaxation. I felt as if my whole body had been submerged in warm water.

The special thing about suede is "Delicate."

There are many different types of massages in Seoul, but the reason why Swedish is so special is in its subtlety. Instead of stimulating strongly, soft but deep muscles provide a stronger healing effect. I felt like I was slowly releasing my nervous shoulders, bent backs, and heavy legs all day long. I felt so comfortable that I could fall asleep without realizing it in the middle of the massage.

What impressed me most was the concentration felt at the fingertips of the therapist. It's not just a skill, it's a feeling that you can feel how you feel about people. Swedish was more than just a massage. I really felt that I was taking care of my body.

Swedish in Seoul, why do you recommend it?

Seoul is busy. So, moreover, it needs to stop. Swedish is a great way to make the pause possible. It can be of great help, especially for those who have lost sleep quality or are feeling tired. After the massage, I felt lighter and clearer in my head. It was an experience that gave me emotional stability beyond just recovering from fatigue.

There are also various types of Swedish massage parlors in Seoul. From hotel-style luxury spas, healing spaces operated by private rooms, and reasonably priced franchise stores, there are many options, so you can choose according to your style.

One thing I learned from the massage

DEAR ABBY: While experiencing the Swedish massage, I realized something. Rest is not something that anyone gives, it's something I have to choose. It wasn't until the massage that I was living with "I" pushed back because I was busy or tired.

I felt how important it was to invest in me, even for a moment, and that the more time we spent, the stronger we were, the more relaxed we were.

Let's wrap this up
