Swedish Massage
By far the most popular form of massage, Swedish Massage – relaxation massage. Popularized by early 19th century Swedish fencing master and gymnastics teacher Henrik Ling, Swedish massage involves long, flowing strokes, often in the direction of the heart, along with kneading and circular movements, all using massage lotion or oil to minimize friction. Used most often for its relaxation benefits, Swedish massage is the common ‘introductory’ technique for people who have never experienced massage before.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is massage therapy that focuses on realigning the deeper layers of muscles & connective tissue. It is most beneficial for tight and tense muscles or over-worked areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness, sore shoulders and legs.
Some of the same strokes are used in Swedish Massage Therapy, but the movement is somewhat slower and the pressure applied is deeper and always focuses on areas of tension.
It is important during deep tissue massage to inform your therapist if pressure is too heavy or too light
