Swedish Massage in Lawrence, KS
Long, flowing strokes that quiet the nervous system. The gold standard of relaxation massage at Ten Toes Reflexology in Lawrence Kansas.
Swedish massage is the most popular form of bodywork in the world for a reason — it works. At Ten Toes Reflexology in Lawrence, KS, our Swedish sessions combine long gliding strokes, gentle kneading, and rhythmic pressure to flush tension, improve circulation, and shift you into deep parasympathetic calm.
It's the perfect first massage if you've never been on a spa table, and it remains the go-to weekly reset for many of our Lawrence KS regulars. We tailor every session — light, medium, or firm — and you can layer in aromatherapy, hot stones, or scalp work to deepen the experience.
Our spa is on Clinton Parkway, minutes from KU and downtown Lawrence. Open daily 9am–9:30pm.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is Swedish a good first massage?
- Yes — it's the most popular style worldwide and the perfect introduction. Pressure is gentle to medium, and the focus is full-body relaxation.
- How is it different from deep tissue?
- Swedish uses flowing strokes for relaxation. Deep tissue uses slower, firmer pressure for chronic pain. Pick Swedish to unwind, deep tissue to work out knots.
- Can I customize pressure?
- Absolutely. Tell your Ten Toes therapist exactly how light or firm you want it — we adjust in real time.
