SWEDISH MASSAGE
Swedish massage promotes general relaxation, improves circulation, increases range of motion, and relieves muscle tension. Swedish uses long strokes, kneading, and friction techniques on the superficial layers of muscles. Passive or active joint movements can also be used during a Swedish massage.

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
Deep tissue massage has a different intent from a Swedish massage. Instead of promoting relaxation through a full-body massage, the intent of deep tissue is to release specific muscles or muscle groups from chronic holding patterns resulting from injury or fatigue. It also aims to release underlying connective tissue to realign structural imbalances. When chronic tension is released, muscles return to their aligned position, and bones fall to the correct posture. Deep tissue massage works very specifically, and is not intended for a full-body massage.

There are several techniques which are considered "deep tissue". They include: myofascial release, cross-fiber frictioning, and trigger point work. This work may ride the delicate edge of pain, and may cause some soreness afterwards which can be helped by using ice packs.
