Swedish or deep tissue massage? How to choose

Deep tissue massage uses slower, firmer pressure and trigger-point therapy to work into the deeper layers of muscle. It's more focused – your therapist will spend time on the areas that need it.

Book deep tissue if you have stubborn knots, stiffness from sitting at a desk, or tight muscles from running, cycling or carrying children about.

Try this: if your main goal is to feel better, choose Swedish. If it's to move better, choose deep tissue. And if you love warmth, a hot stone massage is a lovely middle ground.

Whichever you choose, your therapist can adjust the pressure as you go. Both are available as full body, upper body or back treatments. See all our massages in Sheffield.
