Are you dealing with muscle aches and pains or a feeling of sluggishness from work and daily habits? The Swedish massage (90 minutes) is the effective solution. At NP SPA MASSAGE, we use classic Swedish techniques to work deep into the soft tissues, helping to release blockages, improve blood circulation, and effectively restore muscles. This is an ideal choice for long-term physical health care.
Why is 90 minutes the golden time for a Swedish massage?
Many people often hesitate between 60-minute and 90-minute massage packages. Although 60 minutes can help you relax, 90 minutes is truly the “golden time” for your body and mind to reach a peak state of recovery.
Going beyond surface-level relaxation (compared to the 60-minute package)
With a 60-minute session, the therapist only has enough time to perform basic movements across the entire body. But with 90 minutes, we have an extra 30 precious minutes to go deeper. This allows the therapist to focus thoroughly on the tightest muscle areas like the shoulders, neck, and lower back, helping your mind to completely let go of worries and gradually sink into a state of deep relaxation that a shorter session can hardly provide.
Optimizing therapeutic effects for the body
A Swedish massage (90 minutes) is not just about relaxation; it’s a true therapeutic treatment. The extended duration allows the kneading and rubbing techniques to maximize their effects, enhancing blood circulation and stimulating the lymphatic system to efficiently eliminate toxins. As a result, aches and pains are comprehensively soothed, and your body is recharged from a cellular level.
The 6 core benefits of a Swedish massage (90 minutes)
Experiencing an in-depth Swedish massage (90 minutes) is not just a gift for your spirit, but it also brings invaluable, scientifically-proven health benefits.
Instant relief from stress & nervous tension
The gentle, long stroking movements (Effleurage), combined with the aroma of pure lavender essential oil, will directly impact the nervous system, helping to reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol and bringing an immediate sense of peace and tranquility.
Melting away neck and shoulder pain for office workers
This is a “savior” for those who sit for long hours. The pétrissage (kneading) and friction (deep rubbing) techniques will focus on breaking down muscle tension points, releasing tightness in the neck, shoulders, and lower back, restoring comfort and flexibility. If you’re looking for an effective therapy for neck and shoulder pain, this is the perfect choice.
Improved blood circulation for a rosy complexion
The rhythmic massage movements help to dilate peripheral blood vessels, promoting the flow of blood and oxygen to every cell. This not only helps nourish the muscles better but also gives you a rosy, youthful, and vibrant complexion.
Enhanced flexibility for the muscular & skeletal system
The session helps to soften muscle and connective tissues, minimizing stiffness and thereby improving the range of motion in your joints. You will feel your body become lighter and more flexible after each treatment.
Deeper and better sleep
When your body is completely relaxed and aches are relieved, the quality of your sleep will improve significantly. Many of our clients share that they have experienced deep, uninterrupted sleep after a Swedish massage (90 minutes).
Energy restoration and a refreshed spirit
This is not just a relaxing therapy, but also a way to “recharge your batteries.” You will leave the spa with a refreshed spirit and renewed energy, ready to face the next challenges.
Who is the Swedish massage (90 minutes) for?
The Swedish massage (90 minutes) is an excellent choice suitable for a wide range of people, especially those seeking deep relaxation and comprehensive recovery for both body and mind. The 90-minute duration allows therapists enough time to meticulously and completely perform the techniques of stroking, rubbing, kneading, tapping, and vibrating across all major muscle groups without rushing. This helps the body achieve a deeper state of relaxation and delivers optimal therapeutic results.
This session is particularly ideal for the following individuals:
- Office workers and intellectuals: People who frequently sit for long periods and have a sedentary lifestyle are prone to stiffness and pain in the neck, shoulders, and back. The 90-minute session will help to thoroughly release these tension points, reduce pain, and improve flexibility.
- Individuals with chronic stress: The pressures of life and work can easily lead to mental fatigue and anxiety. The gentle, flowing movements of a 90-minute Swedish massage help soothe the nervous system and stimulate the body’s production of the happiness hormone (serotonin), bringing a sense of relaxation, optimism, and effective stress reduction.
- People with insomnia or poor sleep quality: When the body is completely relaxed and the mind is free from stress, you will find it easier to fall asleep and enjoy a deep, uninterrupted night’s rest.
- Those new to massage: Because Swedish massage uses gentle, non-painful techniques, it is the perfect therapy for first-timers who want a pleasant introduction.
- Athletes or regular exercisers: After workouts, muscles need to relax to recover. Swedish massage helps increase blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to muscle tissues, thereby reducing soreness and speeding up the recovery process.
- Anyone wanting to dedicate time to comprehensive self-care: With 90 minutes, you have enough time to truly “disconnect” from the outside world, fully enjoy the tranquil space, and focus on regenerating your body’s energy.
Individuals who should take precautions or consult a doctor:
Although very safe, some individuals should be cautious and consult a doctor before getting a massage:
- Pregnant women: Should opt for a prenatal massage with a specially trained therapist.
- People with skin conditions: Such as dermatitis, rashes, or open wounds.
- People with heart conditions or high blood pressure.
- Those with a fever, flu, or contagious illnesses.
- Individuals with a history of deep vein thrombosis or blood clotting disorders.
- People who have recently undergone surgery or trauma.
Discover the standard 90-minute Swedish massage process at the spa
A standard Swedish massage (90 minutes) at a spa is a meticulously designed journey to bring your body and mind into a state of deep relaxation, restore energy, and release all tension. Below is the detailed process you will experience, from the moment you step into the spa until you leave with a refreshed spirit.
Phase 1: Welcome & consultation (Approx. 10 minutes)
Step 1: Greeting at the reception:
Upon arrival, you will be greeted with a friendly smile by the receptionist. The spa’s ambiance is typically filled with the gentle scent of essential oils (like lemongrass, lavender, or jasmine) and soothing meditation music, immediately separating you from the noise of the outside world. You will be invited to sit in the reception area and enjoy a warm cup of herbal tea.
Step 2: Filling out an information form and consultation:
You will be given a health information form to fill out basic details about your physical condition, any current issues (where you feel pain, stress levels, sleep quality), and any areas of the body that need special attention or should be avoided. A consultant or therapist will then speak with you directly to:
- Listen to your needs: Understand whether you’re seeking relaxation, muscle pain relief, or improved sleep.
- Recommend essential oils: Based on your needs, you will get to choose a suitable essential oil. For example, lavender oil promotes relaxation and good sleep, peppermint oil helps relieve muscle pain, and sweet orange oil uplifts the spirit.
- Explain the session: Briefly introduce the steps of the treatment and answer any questions you may have.
Phase 2: Pre-massage preparation (Approx. 5 minutes)
Step 3: Changing clothes and storing belongings:
You will be led to a private changing room equipped with towels, a robe, and slippers. Most spas provide disposable underwear to ensure maximum hygiene and comfort during the massage. Secure lockers are available for you to store your personal items.
Step 4: Steam bath or foot soak (Optional):
Some high-end spas may offer an additional step of a 5-10 minute steam bath (wet or dry) to warm up the body, open up pores, and soften the muscles in preparation for the massage. Alternatively, a simple warm foot soak with herbs and mineral salts can help you relax and stimulate blood circulation.
Phase 3: The massage session (70 minutes)
You will be guided to a private massage room. The room typically features soft, warm lighting, a comfortable temperature, soothing instrumental music, and a faint aroma of essential oils. The therapist will invite you to lie face down on a professional massage table, which has a small opening for your face to rest comfortably. A large towel will be draped over your entire body to keep you warm and ensure privacy. The therapist will only uncover the area of the body being massaged.
Part 1: Back, shoulders, and neck (Approx. 25 minutes):
- Warm-up: The therapist will gently place their hands on your back over the towel to create an initial connection, then begin warming the oil in their palms.
- Back massage: Applying Effleurage (long, gentle strokes) from the lower back up to the shoulders and out to the shoulder blades. These movements help to warm the muscles, spread the oil evenly, and stimulate blood flow.
- Kneading and pressing: Using Pétrissage (kneading) and Friction (deep circular rubbing) techniques, focusing on the large muscle groups along both sides of the spine and the lower back to release tense spots.
- Shoulder and neck massage: The therapist will pay special attention to the shoulder and neck area, where tension accumulates the most. Kneading and pressing with the thumbs and long strokes along the shoulder muscles will help soften muscle “knots” and effectively relieve pain.
Part 2: Legs and feet (Back) (Approx. 15 minutes)
The therapist will move down to your legs, uncovering one leg while keeping the rest of your body warm. Long strokes are used from the ankle up to the thigh to support blood circulation back to the heart. This is combined with kneading on the calves and thighs, along with gentle rubbing and pressing around the knee and ankle joints. It concludes with acupressure and a gentle massage of the soles of the feet. Then, the process is repeated on the other side.
Part 3: Legs, arms, and shoulders (Front) (Approx. 20 minutes)
The therapist will ask you to gently turn over onto your back. A small pillow will be placed under your knees to reduce pressure on your back.
- Leg massage (front): Repeating the stroking and kneading movements from the top of the foot up to the thigh.
- Hand and arm massage: Performing long strokes from the wrist to the shoulder, massaging the forearm and upper arm, and finishing with a gentle massage of the palm and each finger.
- Shoulder massage (front): Gently massaging the muscles around the collarbone and the front of the shoulders.
Part 4: Head and face (Approx. 10 minutes)
This is the gentlest and most relaxing part of the session. The therapist will not use oil for this area. Using their fingertips, they will gently massage the entire scalp in a circular motion. They will also gently press on acupressure points at the temples, eyebrows, and around the eye sockets to relieve tension and eye strain. The session concludes with light tapping and vibrating techniques (Tapotement and Vibration) along the body to pleasantly awaken the senses.
Phase 4: Concluding the session & relaxation (Approx. 5 minutes)
Step 5: Post-massage relaxation:
The therapist will gently inform you that the session has ended. You will have a few minutes to lie still on the table to fully absorb the feeling of relaxation and allow your body to slowly “awaken.”
Step 6: Post-treatment guidance:
The therapist will leave the room to give you privacy. After changing back into your clothes, you will be invited back to the lounge area. A staff member will serve you a warm cup of ginger tea or a light snack (such as lotus seed sweet soup or yogurt). They will also advise you to drink plenty of warm water throughout the day to support the detoxification process and to avoid showering immediately after the massage to prevent catching a cold.
This is the standard process for a Swedish massage (90 minutes)—not just a physical treatment, but a complete sensory experience that helps you regain balance and effectively regenerate energy.
