Not sure what the difference is between Swedish and deep tissue? Are you holding off making an appointment because you aren’t sure what type would suit your needs best? Well, here is some information to help you choose the perfect massage for you.

A Swedish massage is best used to improve circulation, relax tight muscles, increase range of motion, and encourage the release of toxins from body tissues. The massage therapist will use long, kneading/gliding strokes, varying in speed and pressure. A Swedish massage has little effect on the connective tissues. This is a general relaxation massage.

A deep tissue massage is used to relieve chronic stress and heavy muscle tension. The deeper muscles and connective tissues are the focus of a deep tissue massage. The massage therapist uses slow movements that are designed to target tissues deep within the body. The pace is slower in order to give the strokes time to work on the intended area.
