Swedish massage uses lighter pressure with long, flowing strokes to relax the superficial muscle layers and ease general tension: ideal for relaxation and stress relief. Deep tissue massage uses slower, firmer pressure to reach the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, targeting chronic pain, knots and injury recovery. If you're new to massage or looking to unwind, Swedish is the better starting point. If you have specific muscle issues or chronic pain, deep tissue may be more effective.

Swedish massage is well documented for reducing cortisol (the stress hormone), relieving muscle tension, improving blood circulation, boosting mood, supporting better sleep and promoting a general sense of relaxation and wellbeing. It's an ideal first massage for clients who are new to bodywork or those recovering from mental fatigue and everyday stress.
