Therapeutic Massage or Swedish Massage, which one is better?

Many customers ask us about the difference between a Therapeutic massage and Swedish massage because they are not sure which will best suite them and meet their requirements. In order to help you decide which one will best suit your body, here we present a few differences between these two.

First let’s make it clear that your body will benefit, no matter what kind of massage therapy you get. Both a therapeutic massage and Swedish massage will assist you reach to a state of relaxation while increasing lymphatic movement and blood circulation.  If you are not experience discomfort or muscle pain, and strictly looking to relax, a Swedish massage therapy can be one of the best options for you. During this one hour Swedish massage therapy, your massage therapist will use slow gliding strokes with a medium to light pressure to give you a complete massage session. A Swedish massage is the best option after an exam or a long week at the office to put your body and mind ease.  While on the other hand a Therapeutic massage is perfect for improving range of motion or relieving discomfort or muscle tension. During a one hour Therapeutic massage your massage therapist will use techniques to break up knots using a light to medium pressure throughout your entire body.

If you wish to have such a massage which includes your legs, arms, feet, hands, shoulder, face, scalp, beck and neck, it is best to book a one hour full body massage session.  Please note that your massage therapist will have only limited time to work on a localized area of the body if you book 45 minutes massage. But if you think that some particular areas require extra attention but you still wish to get a full body massage, then 90 minutes massage would be good for you.
