Choose Swedish to relax: long, gliding strokes at a light to medium pressure over the whole body. Choose Deep Tissue for a tight back, neck or hips: slower, firmer pressure. At Nature Massage Spa in Midway City, both are $40 for 30 minutes or $60 for 60.
The feel of Swedish
Swedish feels smooth and flowing. Long strokes at a light to medium pressure warm the whole body.
It leaves knots alone, which makes it a comfortable first massage. See our Swedish Massage page.
The feel of deep tissue
Deep tissue feels slow and firm. Your therapist works into the back, neck, shoulders and hips.
It should feel strong, not sharp. Speak up, and the pressure eases. See our Deep Tissue Massage page.
Which to pick
Start from your goal. To relax, pick Swedish. To work on tight muscles, pick Deep Tissue.
People stiff from long days on their feet or at a desk often pick Deep Tissue. People who mainly want calm pick Swedish or Relaxation.
Knowing when it is too firm
If you tense up or stop breathing easily, it is too firm. Good pressure feels strong while you stay relaxed.
Tell your therapist straight away, and they adjust.
When one knot is the problem
If one spot hurts more than the rest, ask about Trigger Point.
It holds pressure on that single knot instead of working the whole back.
