If it is really 30 minutes on the table, maybe. A 30 minute session that includes 5 minutes to talk to the therapist and 5 minutes to get dressed, no.
That melting relaxation response really takes a while to attain.
An experienced massage recipient, coming into the massage in the right frame of mind, with a skilled therapist, sure. But for a first massage, I wouldn't settle for less than 45 minutes, the full hour being much better.

It all depends on your reasons for going for the massage and the areas you want treating. For a back massage, 30-45 minutes is a good amount of time to give a thorough massage to the shoulders, neck and lower back. For work on other specific areas, then 30 minutes ona regular basis should be enough.
For a full body Swedish massage, I would recommend a minumum of 60 minutes and anything up to 90 minutes. For your first treatment I would suggest a full body massage, that way, the therapist can locate areas that may need more attention during future treatments.

It really depends on how many times a month you get the massage. If it is used as a maintence massage twice a month then yes it is enough.

30 minutes is enough only for treat some particular areas and not for the full body.

If you want a relaxing massage only, yes, or if you only want a back massage, it can be done.

Absolutely, if you find a professional Massage Therapist with Experience. You could enjoy a Full Body Massage in 30 minutes as much as a 1 hour. You could enjoy it even more by targeting the desired part such as the neck, shoulder, arms, Gluts, Back.

A 30 minute Swedish massage would not be sufficent time for a full body massage. it would be great for a back and should massage or to work on an other specific area.
