The Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is gentler than deep tissue massage and better suited for people interested in relaxation and tension relief.

It involves soft, long, kneading strokes, as well as light, rhythmic, tapping strokes, on topmost layers of muscles. This is also combined with the movement of the joints. By relieving muscle tension, Swedish therapy can be both relaxing and energizing.

Sessions are typically 60 minutes for the full-body, although a 90 allows ending with the scalp massage, so the experience is complete. If you don’t want to have the scalp massage, please speak to the therapist to spend more time on the rest of the body.

Swedish Massage vs Deep Tissue therapy ?

The Swedish Massage, promote deep relaxation by long and medium pressure strokes. Stimulate the lymphatic system and promote endorphins (molecules of well being). The Deep tissue has it called is, “deep”, the pressure is important and this can affect the level of relaxation.

Deep tissue massage therapy isn’t just a Swedish massage with deeper strokes or harder pressure. Deep tissue massages use firm pressure and slow stroked to massage deep layers of muscle and fascia, which is the connective tissue that surrounds your muscles, break up scar tissue and break down muscle adhesions. (The “knots” that we feel in our muscles are muscle adhesions, which are bands of rigid and painful muscle tissue). These knots can inhibit our circulation and cause pain and inflammation.

So the difference is quite important. One works more on your Muscular system and the other more on your Mind & Mood.
