Swedish or Deep Tissue Massage?

A common question we hear is, “What’s the difference between a Swedish massage and a Deep Tissue massage?” Both massages are popular and have different functions and purposes.

Swedish massage is primarily used to induce relaxation and uses slow, long, circular strokes with light to medium pressure. Swedish massage increases blood circulation, moving metabolic waste out of the body, and kicks your nervous system into gear, which helps relieve pain, improve mood, decrease nervous tension, improve sleep, and promote sharper thinking.

If you are looking for overall relaxation and stress relief, Swedish massage is the modality for you.

Deep Tissue massage is primarily used to relieve specific stressed muscles, usually in the back, neck, arms, and legs. The therapist focuses on the inner layers of muscle tissue to change the muscle fibers, by unknotting and lengthening them. As the name implies, pressure is usually more intense to reach the fascia muscles. Deep Tissue is popular with athletes maintaining prolonged, hard workouts; for chronic pain, such as tension headaches and back pain; for fluid retention; and for carpal tunnel syndrome. Deep Tissue massage should not be painful, as the therapist works with the client's tolerance level.
Because both forms of massage flush the system and toxins out of the body, it’s important to remember to drink lots of water following a massage treatment. The increased fluid helps continue to flush waste from the body. Some muscle stiffness or soreness after a massage is common.

The Benefits of Regular Massage

We all know that a massage is a nice way to reduce stress and relax, but did you know that frequent and regular bodywork can effect positive changes in the body that go far beyond simple stress reduction?

Research shows that in response to massage, specific chemical changes cascade throughout the body creating enormous benefits for acute and chronic disorders:
  • Asthmatics show better pulmonary function and increased airflow.
  • Those with high blood pressure demonstrate lower diastolic pressure, anxiety and stress hormones.
  • Premenstrual Syndrome sufferers have decreased water retention and cramping.
  • Preterm infants have improved weight gain.
In addition, regularly scheduled therapeutic massage has been shown to be an effective treatment for reducing pain and discomfort from:
  • Sports-related soreness
  • Back pain
  • Arthritis
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  • Post-surgical pain and tension
  • Migraines
But perhaps you don't suffer from any of the above conditions and you enjoy a warm bath and a glass of wine as relaxing way to reduce your stress. Does that mean there are no benefits from massage for you? Of course it doesn't.

Frequent massage therapy and bodywork has also been proven to:
  • Boost the immune system
  • Release endorphins
  • Reduce headache frequency
  • Increase circulation
  • Improve concentration
  • Reduce fatigue
  • Increase joint flexibility
  • Improve range of motion
  • Ease medication dependence
  • Exercise weak and/or atrophied muscles
  • Promote tissue regeneration (reducing scar tissue)
  • Reduce spasms and cramping
  • Assist labor for expectant mothers (and reduce maternity hospital stays)
  • Help athletes prepare for and recover from strenuous work-outs
These incredible benefits of massage are doubly powerful when taken in regular "doses."

As the researchers of the Touch Institute from the University of Miami say, "The more massage you get, the more benefits you reap." And we hope to see you reaping these benefits soon. Give us call or visit our website for more information.
