What is the difference between Swedish and Deep Tissue Massage?

0

Swedish massage is a full body massage using various strokes that reduce tension, soothe muscles, increase circulation, and assist in removing toxins from the tissues. Oil or lotion is applied during the massage. Swedish massage is very relaxing and therapeutic. Deep Tissue massage is like a Swedish massage – however, when the massage therapist identifies specific areas of tension in the body, she will use more aggressive techniques to work out the tension. These techniques take time for the therapist to work past the superficial muscles and deeper to lower levels in your body. If you plan on receiving a deep tissue massage, schedule at least a one-and-a-half hour appointment so you can still receive a full body massage or expect only back, neck and shoulders if you book a one hour massage.
