Session length is one of the easiest decisions to get right once you know what each duration is actually good for – here’s a simple breakdown.
60-Minute Sessions
A 60-minute session is enough time for a full-body treatment covering back, shoulders, legs, and arms at a comfortable, unrushed pace. This is the most commonly booked duration and works well for a regular relaxation routine.
90-Minute Sessions
A 90-minute session allows extra time to focus more deeply on specific tight areas (like shoulders or lower back) while still covering the full body, without feeling rushed anywhere. This is a popular choice for clients who want a more thorough, slower-paced experience.
Shorter Add-On Sessions
If you’re short on time but still want some relief, a shorter 30-minute session focused specifically on the neck, shoulders, or back is a practical option – closely related to our neck and shoulder massage treatment.
Which Duration Should You Choose?
If this is your first Swedish massage, 60 minutes is a comfortable starting point. If you already know you tend to hold a lot of tension or simply want to fully unwind without watching the clock, 90 minutes is worth the extra time.
Does Duration Affect Price?
Yes – longer sessions cost more, but often at a slightly better per-minute rate than booking two shorter sessions. Message us on WhatsApp for current pricing across durations.
