Swedish massage, also known as Swedish relaxation massage, is a restorative and rejuvenating massage. It is best known as a massage for relaxation and uses long, smooth strokes to work the muscles gently. Swedish massage is one of the most popular styles of massage therapy.

The main difference between Swedish relaxation and deep tissue massage is the pressure. Swedish relaxation massage uses less pressure than deep tissue massage. A remedial deep tissue massage is designed to target the deep layers of fascia surrounding the muscle and is ideal for those who experience chronic pain, tension, discomfort or have mobility issues. Swedish relaxation massage uses less intense pressure to relax and soothe the muscles. Check out our blog post on Swedish massage for more information.
