Choose Swedish to rest: long, flowing strokes at a light to medium pressure over the whole body. Choose Deep Tissue for a stiff back, neck or hips: slower, firmer pressure. At V Healing Massage Spa in Largo, both are $50 for 30 minutes or $70 for 60.
How Swedish feels
Swedish feels smooth and steady. Long strokes at a light to medium pressure warm up the whole body.
It does not dig into knots, which makes it a good first massage. See our Swedish Massage page.
How deep tissue feels
Deep tissue feels slow and firm. Your therapist works into the back, neck, shoulders and hips.
It should feel strong but never sharp. Say so, and the pressure eases. See our Deep Tissue Massage page.
Choosing between them
Start with your goal. To unwind, choose Swedish. To work on stiff muscles, choose Deep Tissue.
Guests with a stiff back from long shifts often go for Deep Tissue. Guests who just want to switch off pick Swedish or Relaxation.
When is it too firm?
It is too firm when you tense up or hold your breath. Good pressure feels strong while you still breathe easily.
Tell your therapist right away, and they adjust.
Mixing the two
You can ask for a blend: an easy pace overall, with firmer work on one or two spots.
Point to those spots before you start. If they are knots, Muscle Tension may suit you even better.

Both cost the same: $50 for 30 minutes or $70 for 60.
