Swedish or Deep Tissue? Choosing the Right Massage

Both are full-body massages, but they set out to do different things. Here is how to choose.

Swedish Massage: To Unwind

Long, gliding strokes, gentle kneading, and active and passive movements of the muscles. Blending light and deep strokes, Swedish massage works by reducing tension, alleviating muscle soreness, and improving circulation and overall energy. $105 for 60 minutes, $155 for 90.

Deep Tissue Massage: For Knots and Chronic Tension

Performed with hands, forearms and elbow to reach deeper muscle layers and connective tissues. The intensity and pressure increase the flow of blood and oxygen and relieve tension at the core of tight muscles. $120 for 60 minutes, $175 for 90.

Tell Your Therapist What You Need

Your treatment, your time, and your body are yours. Communicate your preferences: the amount of pressure, room temperature, conversation or silence. If you do not tell your therapist, they will not know if you are uncomfortable.
