Swedish vs Deep Tissue Massage — Which to Pick.
A short guide from Nature Massage Spa in Midway City, CA. Read in under 4 minutes.
Swedish = long gliding strokes, light-to-medium pressure, full-body relaxation. Deep Tissue = slow focused pressure on knots, firmer, targeted. First-timers usually start with Swedish.
Swedish Massage
Long, gentle, full-body strokes. Light to medium pressure. The therapist warms muscles first, then works through back, shoulders, arms, legs, face. Most-booked at Nature Massage Spa for first-time guests and after-work unwind.
Deep Tissue Massage
Slower pace, focused pressure on specific knots. Therapist holds pressure on tight spots until they release. Firmer overall. Best for tight shoulders, lower back, hips.
