Background
Swedish massage was introduced to America in the 19th century as part of “The Swedish Movement Cure”. It serves as the primary foundation for many types of Western massage including sports massage, deep tissue massage and aromatherapy massage . Our Swedish Integrated Massage is the best way to get a sample of all the techniques available to you as an Alvino Massage customer. Your Alvino Massage practitioner will incorporate Swedish relaxation strokes, deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release and motion palpation depending on what’s most effective for your specific situation.

Benefits
If you’re new to massage therapy, this massage is a great place to start. Swedish massage uses firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension and create other health benefits like:
• relieved discomfort from knots
• loosened joints
• reduced stiffness
• increased range of motion
What to expect
A Swedish massage is typically performed on a massage table, underneath a towel or sheet. You may choose to keep your underwear on as many newcomers do, or go nude. Your Alvino Massage practitioner will only uncover the part of the body he or she is working on – a technique called “draping”. We maintain the most professional standards to ensure you have a comfortable experience.
Our Denver massage therapists are trained in delivering you the best possible Swedish integrated massage. We will customize your massage therapy session based on your unique needs. Please arrive 15 minutes early to discuss any specific needs as part of your pre-session consultation.
