Swedish massage uses oil and long smooth strokes to move tissue fluids, kneading to relax muscles and fascia (connective tissue). Trepidations are rhythmic movements of the body and limbs to let the nervous system let go of holding patterns. Deep tissue techniques are more specific massage techniques to work with tight or injured areas to balance the body. Out of a big toolset, I pick, what is appropriate for your body.

A lot of people and spas connect with deep tissue painful and forceful manipulation of tissue, which actually damages it. Sadly, some schools just spent a few hours to teach their students, how to ram an elbow into someone's body. My training consists of 80 hours of deep tissue and 80 hours of anatomy with some of the best teachers around. I approach the work gently for lasting changes, versus a quick, painful and damaging release.
