Swedish Massage uses a system of
long strokes, kneading, and friction percussive
and vibration techniques on the more superficial
layers of muscles, combined with active and
passive movements of the joints. It is used
primarily for full-body sessions and promotes
general relaxation, improves blood circulation and
range of motion, and relieves muscle tension.
Swedish is the most common type of massage.

Deep Tissue Massage releases the
chronic patterns of tension in the body through
slow stokes and deep finger pressure on the
contracted areas, either following or going across
the grain of muscles, tendons and fascia. It
is called deep tissue because it also focuses on
the deeper layers of muscle
tissue. |
