What is a Swedish massage?
Swedish massage is a full-body treatment using oil and flowing strokes to relax muscles and improve circulation, at a pressure you control. It's the most widely-offered style and a good first choice if you want to relax rather than target a specific problem.
Swedish vs deep tissue — which should I book?
Swedish for relaxation and general tension at a comfortable pressure; deep tissue for firmer, focused work on stubborn knots. If you're unsure, Swedish is the safer default — and you can always ask your therapist for firmer pressure within it.
What should I expect during the massage?
You'll undress to your comfort level and lie on a couch under a towel, with only the area being worked on uncovered. The therapist uses oil and flowing strokes across the body; you can ask for lighter or firmer pressure at any point. Most people find it deeply relaxing.

Swedish uses flowing, moderate-pressure strokes for relaxation across the whole body; deep tissue uses slower, firmer pressure to release deep knots and chronic tension. Choose Swedish to relax, deep tissue for specific muscle problems. Many therapists can blend the two.
