Swedish and Relaxation Massage in Perth

Back-to-back meetings, a full inbox, kids, the commute. You can't remember the last time you actually switched off, and your body is carrying all of it.

Sometimes you don't need deep work on a knot. You need an hour to breathe out. Our Swedish and relaxation massage at Vitality in Yokine is exactly that.

Relaxation massage at Vitality Chiropractic, Yokine

What is Swedish massage?

Swedish massage is the classic relaxation massage. It uses long, flowing strokes, gentle kneading and rhythmic movements, usually with lighter to medium pressure. The focus is on helping you relax and unwind, rather than working deeply into one problem area.

Relaxation or remedial: which one?

Not sure which to book? Here's a simple guide:

  • Choose relaxation massage if you want to unwind, reset and switch off
  • Choose remedial massage if you have a specific sore spot, injury or tightness you want worked on
  • Not sure? Tell us when you book and your therapist will tailor the session

What happens in a session

We start with a quick chat about your health history and how you'd like to feel at the end. You'll be comfortably draped the whole time, and you can ask for more or less pressure whenever you like.

Then it's simple: lie back, breathe, and let the week go for a while.

  • Long, flowing strokes over the back, neck, shoulders, arms and legs
  • Pressure adjusted to suit you
  • A calm, quiet room
  • Time to get up slowly at the end

Why we offer it

Life at full speed takes a toll. Making time to rest is part of looking after yourself, not a luxury. Our massage therapists, Michelle and Chikako, work in the same clinic as our chiropractors, so if they notice something that needs more attention, they'll let you know.

Rest well, so you can show up fully for the people and things you love. Live alive. Live you.

When massage isn't suitable

Please check with your GP before booking, and let us know, if you have:

See a GP or go to emergency first if you have:

  • Sudden pain, swelling or redness in one leg (possible blood clot)
  • A fever or active infection
  • A recent injury, fracture or surgery
  • Skin conditions or wounds in the area to be massaged

Book an assessment if:

  • You're stressed, tired and need to switch off
  • You'd like a gentler alternative to remedial massage
  • You want a regular hour that's just for you

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Swedish and remedial massage?

Swedish (relaxation) massage uses flowing strokes and lighter pressure to help you relax. Remedial massage targets specific areas of tension or injury and can use firmer pressure.

How long is a relaxation massage?

Choose the session length that suits you when you book online. Longer sessions give more time for a full-body massage.

Can I claim relaxation massage on my health fund?

Most health funds only cover remedial massage, not relaxation massage. Check with your fund before you book.

What should I wear?

Whatever is comfortable. You'll be draped with towels throughout and only the area being massaged is uncovered.

Do you offer pregnancy massage?

Yes. Pregnancy massage is available through all three trimesters.
