What are the key differences between Swedish massage and deep tissue massage at spa centers?

At Tattva Spa, both Swedish massage and deep tissue massage are popular choices—but they serve different needs.

A Swedish massage is all about relaxation. It involves long, gliding strokes, gentle kneading, and circular movements on the topmost layers of muscles. It’s perfect if you’re new to massage or just looking to unwind, release everyday stress, and improve blood circulation. It’s a soothing experience that leaves you feeling calm and refreshed.

On the other hand, a deep tissue massage targets deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It uses slower, more intense strokes and firm pressure to relieve chronic muscle tension and knots—ideal for people dealing with stiffness, muscle pain, or athletic recovery.

At Tattva Spa, both therapies are customized to your comfort level. So whether you’re looking to de-stress with a Swedish massage or want to work on deeper muscle tension with a deep tissue massage, the trained therapists here ensure a deeply rejuvenating experience. Just let your body decide what it needs most.
