Swedish Massage:
Relaxes muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles. It also shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. It increases circulation without increasing heart load. It stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and pliable. Swedish massage also stimulates the skin and nervous system and soothes the nerves themselves at the same time. It reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is suggested in a regular program for stress management.
-
Deep tissue massage:
A type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness, and sore shoulders.

To do this, the massage therapist often uses direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles.
