Swedish vs. Deep Tissue Massage

Swedish and deep tissue massage are both popular, but they provide different experiences. The best choice depends on the pressure you enjoy and what you want from your time at the spa.

Swedish massage

Swedish massage generally uses smooth, flowing movements and light-to-medium pressure. It is often selected by first-time guests and people who want a calm, comfortable relaxation session. You can still ask the therapist to adjust the pressure to your preference.

Deep tissue massage

Deep tissue massage generally uses firmer, slower and more focused pressure. Guests who enjoy a stronger massage may choose this option. Tell your therapist about sensitive areas and speak up if the pressure feels too intense.

How to choose

Choose Swedish massage when your priority is overall relaxation and a flowing massage style. Choose deep tissue when you prefer firmer, more concentrated pressure. If you are unsure, call Moon Relax Spa & Massage and describe the experience you want.
