Swedish/Deep Tissue Massage

Swedish Massage is the most commonly offered and best-known type of massage. If it's your first time with a massage therapist, Swedish massage is the perfect place to start. Swedish massage is the foundation for other types of Western massage techniques. The primary focus of Swedish massage is to increase circulation and promote general relaxation.

Deep tissue massage is an expansion of Swedish massage techniques aimed at deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia. Pressure and kneading is more intense. It is also a more focused type of massage, as the therapist works to release chronic muscle tension or knots (also known as "adhesion.")

Deep Tissue massage also has wonderful health benefits. The release of habitually tight muscles relieves chronic pain and speeds the healing of injuries.
