Deep Tissue Vs Swedish Massage
When receiving these two massages, at first, they may seem very similar. That being said, they do have their differences.The deep tissue and Swedish massage both begin with strokes along the body, putting pressure on certain muscles. This is used to prepare the muscles and relax the individual so they are not tense during the massage.
While a Swedish massage is great for general relaxation and other health benefits Reflexology, deep tissue has a much more specific goal.
This goal is to break up the scar tissue and break down muscle adhesion’s. Muscle adhesion’s tend to cause pain, result in poor circulation, and cause swelling. In some cases, it may even prevent a person from doing certain physical activities, such as exercising and lifting.
