Swedish massage uses long gliding strokes and kneading with oil on a massage table: it's more passive and deeply relaxing. Thai massage also works with energy lines, while Swedish focuses primarily on muscle relaxation through the superficial tissue layers.

Thai massage is a combination of assisted yogic stretches and acupressure that stimulates the Sen (energy) lines to restore the body’s balance. More rigorous than a traditional massage, therapists will knead, press and stretch muscles with their hands and feet to release blocked energy channels, reduce tension, and improve overall health. Thai massages don’t tend to require clients to remove their clothes.
