Swedish Massage vs Deep Tissue Massage

Francis Sewell August 4, 2017

There is an influx on the different kinds of massages available in the market right now. However, these can all be categorized into three groups, the Acupressure, Swedish massage and the deep tissue massage. The Acupressure, which most commonly attributed to Asia focuses on the pressure points and the movements of energy in the body. Swedish on the other hand improves the blood circulation and relaxes our muscles. Lastly, the deep tissue massage focuses on the connective tissues and focuses on the changes in ease of movement and posture. 

Swedish Massage 

Swedish is the most common and best-known type of massage in the West. It’s the foundation for other types of Western massage and is based on the Western concepts of anatomy and physiology, as opposed to energy work on “meridians” or sen lines in Asian massage systems. A Swedish massage can be slow and gentle, or vigorous and bracing, depending on the therapist’s personal style and what he or she is trying to achieve. 

Deep Tissue Massage 

Deep tissue massage therapy is similar to Swedish massage, but the deeper pressure is beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension. The focus is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons, and fascia (the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints).

A study in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that people’s blood pressure fell after a single 45 to 60-minute deep tissue massage. Additionally, a 2010 meta-analysis in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry found that massage modalities like deep tissue reduce stress hormone levels and heart rate while boosting mood and relaxation by triggering the release of oxytocin and serotonin. 

Weighing the Benefits

Choose Swedish massage for relaxation to increase circulation of blood and lymph, for a relief of pain, improved mood, improved sleep and sharper thinking. Choose deep tissue massage for chronic pain that is muscular in origin, to improve posture and range of motion. To improve athletic performance, use deep tissue massage off-season as it produces changes in movement to which you need to become accustomed before competing.   

Misconceptions and Considerations

Swedish massage is sometimes considered to be more soothing than therapeutic, but research by the Touch Therapy Institute in Florida shows that Swedish or classic massage has many therapeutic benefits. Deep tissue massage shouldn’t be painful; well-trained deep tissue massage therapists work very slowly, within the client’s tolerance, to stretch muscle layers without causing pain or damage. It often results in a little soreness afterward, but you should feel better, not worse, after your massage.
