Swedish/Relaxation Massage
Swedish/Relaxation Massage in High Point
Hands-on massage therapy is a great way to relax and unwind. The smooth, yet firm, manipulation of the muscles and joints quickly relieves stress by relaxing tight muscles and promoting better blood circulation.
Relaxation massage, also known as Swedish massage, is one of the most common types of massage therapy. It promotes a richer experience of health improvement through a series of professional massage techniques, including:
- Effleurage: Gliding strokes with the palms, thumbs and/or fingertips.
- Petrissage: Kneading movements with the hands, thumbs and/or fingers
- Friction: Circular pressures with the palms of hands, thumbs and/or fingers
- Vibration: Oscillatory movements that shake or vibrate the body
- Percussion: Brisk hacking or tapping
What will Relaxation/Swedish Massage do for you?
Along with being an immediate stress-reducer, a Relaxation/Swedish massage offers many lasting benefits. It can be healthy for your heart, as the well-trained therapist will use precise strokes that flow toward the heart, improving blood and oxygen circulation. It can help reduce symptoms of depression, which can be debilitating if left untreated for too long. Some pain symptoms that can be managed by this targeted massage therapy include back pain, headaches, pain due to injuries, and other chronic pains. You’ll enjoy an overall increased range of motion, as you experience a release of tightness from muscles. These massages are also associated with boosting immunity by improving lymphatic flow and reducing stress, which can help you stay healthy in managing conditions like the common cold, asthma, diabetes, and breast cancer.
Our team of professionals at Hands On Health Massage & Physical Therapy are thoroughly trained in the art of Relaxation/Swedish Massage and look forward to providing you with all of the beneficial effects of experiencing one for yourself!

Malia is an excellent therapist with experience in many areas of health & healing. She’s a good listener & will always bring her A game to find the best solution! I happily & heartily recommend her!
Joy S.
Malia has changed my life. She is the best and knows what she is doing. Doctors were not able to help me but Malia was. I am very active and at times stress my muscles. Malia has magical hands that know just what to do. I love her. You will too.
Susan C.
Malia was amazing. Kind, knowledgeable…I think this will be a game changer for me. Highly recommend.
Debra P.
First visit with Malia and it won’t be my last. She is so knowledgeable and kind. She explains everything and is always checking to make sure of how you feel insuring she doesn’t hurt you. After one treatment I feel so positive that if I do what she tells me to do and guides me along with continue treatments I will feel so much better and will be relieved of so much pain. I feel so blessed to have found this facility. Can’t wait for my deep tissue massage with Katia in a couple weeks to hold me over till my next PT. I highly recommend!
Tina H.
Milia is very professional, helpful, friendly and chose Tonya as my massage therapist. Thank you both for the work you’ve done to improve the quality of my life.
Wendy T.
This was my second visit with Malia and she zeroed in on my shoulder muscle weaknesses that PT can’t address thoroughly due to appt time restraints. I left with more movement. This is a continuing process that I am optimistic about due to Malia and her knowledge of muscles and their limitations after shoulder surgery replacement

This was my first time with Hands-On and the experience was great. The pain in the heel of my foot made walking on it very difficult. While not totally resolved, and not expected to be so quickly, Kieyan made a start in resolving the issue.
