How is a Deep Tissue Massage Different from a Swedish Massage?

While Swedish massage forms the basis for the deep tissue massage technique, these are two very distinct methods of massage. This is best demonstrated by understanding the difference in stroke technique and pressure that are used for each type.

During a deep tissue massage, the strokes are more forceful which releases tension in the deeper layers of muscle. The pressure for a Swedish massage is light to firm, but for deep tissue the pressure is more intense after your muscles are warmed up.
