Our Massage Philosophy
Our philosophy is at the heart of each and every one of our massage services - guiding us in strengthening both bodies and minds, day in, and day out.
Meeting Needs
No two of our clients are the same - so why should our services be? Each of our treatments, from recovery to relaxation, is driven solely by your distinct needs. Taking into account your areas of concern, preferences, and goals, our philosophy breaks the mould of generic massage menus - delivering tailored treatment plans and products perfectly suited to you and you alone.
Improving Lives
We understand that the effects of pain and discomfort go well beyond just their source.

Clients’ Stories
Since opening our Ipswich & Bury St Edmunds massage therapy studios, we’ve helped hundreds of happy clients relax, rejuvenate, and renew with the power of bespoke healing treatments
I had a brilliant deep tissue massage at Lana's Holistic Centre. The therapist was warm and welcoming. I suffer with tight muscles in my back, and shoulder area. I've tried a few places recently, however, the treatment at Lana's was the best and worked a treat. The centre is easy to find and there is free parking up to an hour nearby by. I'd definitely recommend Lana's.

Had been suffering from some back pain and on enquiry I managed to get a same day appointment. Location was easy to get to, bright and clean. The service was fantastic, and everything was explained. I came away feeling much better and results have lasted. Will definitely go back and would recommend.

I booked in to get my back seen to as I'd been suffering quite badly. I can honestly say that after an hour's treatment I have never had such good results before! I left feeling very relaxed with lots more movement and significantly less pain than I had when I arrived. Chris was very courteous and knowledgeable, explaining the different muscle groups and their function. The treatment rooms were hygienic and welcoming, will definitely be coming back!

Lana's deep tissue work is exceptional. As an older man with chronic tightness in shoulders, back and neck it means a lot to have skillful, deep pressure which gets to the roots of the pain and tension. I also gained more understanding of the causes and how to self-help.

How much is Swedish massage?
The price of a Swedish massage therapy session varies widely across the UK depending on your chosen provider, treatment length, and location – amongst a number of other factors. Current averages are thought to sit at approximately £67 per hour.
Lana’s Holistic Centre is proud to offer 60-minute Swedish massage bookings – provided by certified, experienced massage therapists in our Ipswich-based studio – for just £60. To make an appointment, use our online booking system linked above, or call us to talk to a friendly advisor.
How is a Swedish massage performed?
At Lana’s Holistic Centre, Swedish massages are performed by fully qualified massage therapists. After a short consultation regarding your preferences, goals, and lifestyle, they’ll ensure you’re in a comfortable position on a specialised massage table. During the treatment, your therapist will use their hands and forearms to manipulate your body’s upper tissue with the goal of providing physical and mental relaxation, alongside pain relief, lymphatic drainage, and a number of other benefits. Techniques used may include traditional long strokes, deep kneading, and finger tapping (used to increase circulation in target areas). The pressure used will be adjusted to your liking.
Post-appointment, you’ll be given a moment to adjust to the effects of your massage and take in your surroundings, before re-dressing, and meeting with your therapist for a short post-discussion discussion covering any questions or concerns.
How often should you have a Swedish massage?
As every single one of us is unique and has differing needs, there’s no one ‘best’ frequency for Swedish massage appointments. For example, a client seeking relaxation after submitting their dissertation may feel a one-off appointment best suits their needs, whilst an office worker suffering from ongoing postural issues may book in on a weekly basis.
Our therapists find that for those in need of regular appointments, receiving a massage once per week or once a fortnight, is highly beneficial. If you’re looking to establish a massage schedule, why not discover our cost-saving monthly massage membership plans above?
How long should a Swedish massage last?
Ultimately, there’s no one ‘ideal’ treatment length for a Swedish massage. When selecting a provider and treatment length, you should take into consideration your individual goals and preferences. Whilst a 45-minute appointment may be perfect for a busy mum, a 120 minute appointment may be the best option for a client looking to splurge on a one-off relaxation session. Our expert Swedish massage therapists have found that 60-minute appointment lengths are a happy medium, allowing enough time for a well-paced Swedish massage leaving no stone unturned.
What should I wear for a Swedish massage?
At Lana’s Holistic Centre, we ask that Swedish massage clients dress down to the level they feel most comfortable with – whether this be underwear, a top and shorts. Our therapists will provide towels for modesty and comfort, ensuring your session is as relaxing as possible. If you’d feel most comfortable fully dressed, you’re welcome to remain so! We advise wearing soft, loose-fitting clothing that our therapists can easily work your upper layers of muscle and tissue through.
