This massage made me feel INCREDIBLE after. I can raise my arms without feeling like i was rusty. I can lift my shoulders without struggling to get through the tightness. Best thing I've ever done. Best part is I have 5-6 more days of traveling and this will help me carry a backpack on my back without any more pain. The ladies were very accommodating and nice. I would 10000% recommend coming by in the beginning of your trip so you can feel great for the rest of your time/day.

We went looking for a massage place and found this one via reviews and Google. I was a bit…read moreapprehensive the same way I always am when we get a massage at some random place. But there was nothing to worry about. The women here speak good English, which is very helpful when booking. My husband and I were shown to neighboring beds. The room was warm but not hot. The ladies didn't really give us great instructions, so after a lot of laughter and giggling about which blanket goes where, we got it all figured out and started the massage. If you've never had Thai massage before, it's kind of like this petite Asian woman is trying to literally separate the fibers of your muscles by pulling your muscles in opposite directions. But afterward, you feel like 10 million bucks. This massage did use oil (some Thai massages don't) and so it was kind of like a hybrid Thai/deep tissue massage. I felt fabulous afterwards. The prices in general for massages in this part of the world are pretty cheap compared to what we pay in the USA so I was happy to pay and would absolutely come back.

I've been at this place few times for their salt room treatment, time to write a few lines!…read moreThe local is a kinda cozy, I actually missed the entrance door the first time! If it does't open, don't give up, keep pushing :) The lady sitting there in the evenings is very friendly and helpful, ready to explain about several treatments they have. I've learned that she is not the owner though. The local itself is not fresh fresh but fresh enough to be comfortable. The only drawback is that there is no changing room, not critical for saltroom itself but I think about yoga for example, still good enough to give them a 5. They have two rooms, salt & ljus room, with different types of services, yoga & massage in salt room,.... Saturday mornings they have a special event for children in the salt room. I've just used the salt room and I am very satisfied. They are open on Saturdays and until 20:00 for some weed days which makes it very convenient as an after work plan. I'm no expert on the health related benefits of this treatment but in practice, it helped my asthma a lot. I've heard and tested saltroom almost a year ago but just couple of times and it was not my asthma peak period either. This year I went there in the most difficult period and it really helped. To be honest, I'm normally skeptical but The immediate effect surprised me. The other favorite thing about this room is that it is a silent room, no phone allowed, just lay down and listen to the music and keep your eyes closed and take deep breaths, not sure about you but I don't do these things all together so often :D For me, I will keep this treatment as a routine. I hope it will help others as well.

Though the location can be difficult to find, it is 110% worth it. She did a Thai / Combo Massage with oil as I requested and definitely wasn't afraid to apply pressure when needed and continually check with how it was feeling. Her technique is impeccable and couldn't have asked for better. So much that I went to see her again before I had to fly back home : )

He provided a very professional and knowledgable massage that focused on what my body needed. Reda can sense if your body needs a lighter or a deeper touch, depending on how your muscles react. After the massage I felt calm and comfortable, and that feeling was even stronger as a result of being in my own home. I could then go straight to bed. Reda also gave me advice on how to treat my body better at work, so that my issues don't get worse. I will happily book more massages with HemMassagen Stockholm because I feel cared for and that my health improves with each session.

The best experiences are those where your expectations start low or you really doubt that something…read morecan be worthwhile, but you happen upon someone who is a master of their craft and is able to show your their world through the simplicity of performing their skill. I really thought that someone coming into your home to give you a message would be more closely aligned with the niche of offering convenience than true expertise and I kept that opinion through about half of the deep tissue message (you can select from any of 4 styles: relaxing, deep tissue, Egyptian, or classical). I've had a fair number of deep-tissue work done before, as well as a myriad of other therapeutic and physiological treatments so I know the usual methods of approach and what to expect... Then I realized Reda (the owner of the business which he started 3 years ago) was approaching the message in a more careful way than I expected, testing the mobility of various muscle systems before and after his treatments and I started to pay more attention and give his treatment more respect. By the end of the message he had diagnosed almost all of my ailments without me telling him about them, had the suggestions for treating them (and not necessarily just via more massage time), spent some extra time going over the stretches he wanted me to do, and explaining how he thought these things were affecting me body now and how they would play out in the future. I know my body pretty well, but Reda figured it out and more in 60 minutes. He truly speaks the language of the muscular and tissue system. Not surprisingly, he has worked in the field for over 11 years as of this review and has done extensive work in the medical massage field, sports therapy treatments and even treats some of the competitors in the Swedish TV show "Gladiatorerna" (Rena is a pretty strong guy himself). He has a few other massage therapists working with him, so I can't comment on the expertise of everyone, but I'm sure they will be happy to tell you about them as well. I found the receptionist extremely friendly and helpful! The most impressive thing I got was how much Reda seemed to actually care about my health. He gave everything to me straight, and really stressed what needed to be done to fix the situation. When I asked about getting more deep-tissue work, he told me what to ask for in a massage and said it doesn't matter where I go, and that I could also do a lot to fix these problems on my own. That really increases my trust in someone. This guy knows his craft. I'm sold on HemMassagen. Very highly recommended!

I thoroughly enjoyed the Grand Hôtel Nordic Spa & Fitness. When you check in, you'll get flip…read moreflops, a robe and disposable underoos if you're getting a massage. Treatments: I got a classic Swedish massage, which was really relaxing. I had just finished listening to the Moth podcast about Russian massages, which can be bonecrushing. So I was a little nervous. However, my massager was strong, but gentle. I was relaxed and refreshed afterwards. Totally recommend it! I also got a mani/pedi with varnish. I didn't realize that either you get no nail polish, or they sell you the nail polish bottle! It was a funny surprise to get some nail polish to go! The Day Spa is free with any treatment, so I stayed from 9am to 4pm, and emerged glowing and joyful! Facilities: They have fantastic facilities. They were really clean - their staff were constantly cleaning and refreshing towels, water, fresh apples and slices of orange. Coed area: They have a beautiful little pool, hot tub with bubbles and a waterfall, steam room. In the women's area, they have a sauna, freezing cold pool with a waterfall, spacious changing room with big lockers. They also have lots of showers, WCs and extra towels, flip flops and lotions and soaps. Loved it! Fitness Bar: They also have a fitness bar upstairs, complete with smoothies and a food menu. Tip: wear real clothes, not your robe. Also, call the phone in there if there's nobody there to serve you. I got confused by all the members serving themselves, and wondered if they were staff members who were just ignoring me! Turns out, I should have just called downstairs. Fun Times: When most people left around 3pm, I had fun playing with all the buttons Harry Potter style, to turn on waterfalls and bubbles in the in the pool and hot tubs. Most of the time, there were people in each area on a Sunday. However, I noticed that there was a slight dip around 2-4, but more people were coming in around 4 when I left. Staff: The staff were all really friendly, polite and helpful. I tend to ask a lot of questions, and sometimes I don't get the best response. But in this case, they were quite happy I chatted them up, and even offered me some tips for where to visit in Stockholm. Reservations: I emailed them 3 days before I arrived and they offered me their only reservation for the Sunday I requested. They even called me later to say that they had two back-to-back openings open up for the other treatments I requested. They emailed back promptly and answered all my questions. Prices: I found the prices to be fair considering it's in the middle of Stockholm and in such a nice hotel. Final Verdict: This has been one of my favorite spas because it's quiet, clean and not overrun with tourists. Their staff is professional and friendly.

I had to have a Swedish massage while in Sweden! Is it really a trip to Sweden without one (and…read moremaybe some meatballs!)? I of course took to Yelp to find the best place to do this. Definitely found the right one! This was a magical experience. The hotel is beautiful, and just screams luxury. I checked in early, because I wanted to have some extra time in the wet areas, and not feel rushed. Everyone was friendly, and I was greeted with a robe, flip flops, and a locker to place my items. The pool, sauna, steam room, hot tub, and cold plunge were all fantastic additions to prepare me for my massage. The massage was wonderful (it was a guy, which at first made me nervous but turned out great), and I left feeling completely relaxed. I did mine in the evening, which was perfect because I was able to shower and go straight to bed! My only complaint would be that it was quite warm in there, so I did sweat, but who doesn't want all the toxins out of your body?! Especially after all the lovely wine and mead on my vacation! No pics as cameras are not allowed!

The place is decorated in a very exotic, hippy, and peaceful manner, with beautiful, thoughtful details throughout. The massages take place in small curtained off areas, with mats on the floor, traditional Thai style. It's easy to call ahead and make an appointment with their kind receptionist. I highly recommend the Thai massage - it's just 495 sek and is super relaxing. If you've never had a Thai massage before, you might be a little surprised by it - you'll be fully clothed for the massage, in loose fitting clothing provided by the spa, and the masseuse will likely walk on your back, push on pressure points, and help you stretch your muscles extensively. If you're looking for a more "normal" massage, the oil massage is great, and just 595 sek. And if you're feeling adventurous and wanting to try the Thai massage a bit, they offer a mix massage as well.
