The Daniel Beauty Difference

You will be treated on a comfortable, electrically-operated and fully adjustable massage table.

The massage table has a heavily-padded surface and a face hole that allows you to breathe easily while you are lying face down.

If it is your first time visiting us we will ask you to complete a health questionnaire before the massage begins.


What is Swedish Massage?

Swedish Massage uses several styles of long, flowing strokes. The basic strokes are effleurage (sliding or gliding), petrissage (kneading), tapotement (rhythmic tapping) and friction (cross fiber).

We use softer strokes on the bonier and more delicate parts of the body, and stronger strokes where there is thicker muscle coverage. This sensitivity to pressure makes it ideal for relaxation.


Please tell us if you have any medical conditions or allergies before making an appointment We massage using grapeseed oil. We will ask you to fill out a short questionnaire before the massage to make sure you don’t have any condition that will prevent us from treating you.

It's best to avoid heavy meals and alcohol several hours before your massage.

All massages can leave you feeling thirsty and needing to go to the toilet more than usual. This is because it stimulates your lymph circulation and your body is flushing out toxins.

We will give you a glass of water after your massage and allow you to relax as you drift back into the real world.

The Origins of Swedish Massage

Massage is the oldest form of therapy known to man. The actual term massage is derived from the Arabic word Mas'h - meaning to knead and to press softly. The first descriptions of massage can be traced back to 3000BC, where it's use was documented by the chinese to encourage mind, body and spirit.

Massage has diverse and multi-cultural roots, with documentations evident throughout ancient China, India, Greece, Persia, Egypt, Japan and Native American cultures. Swedish Massage or holistic (whole of body) massage is the type of massage with which you will be most familiar.

Swedish Massage started to become popular in the United States in the mid 1800s. It’s based on the techniques of Per Henrik Ling, a Swedish physiologist, who uncovered and developed massage techniques whilst he was travelling through China.

Ling is responsible for introducing the terminology which we associate with massage, and the methods practiced in the western world today. Ironically, the term Swedish Massage is not really known in Sweden. The Swedes call it a classic massage.
