Swedish massage promotes psychological well-being through stress reduction and relaxation by applying long, slow and gentle massage strokes, which stimulate the release of the body’s natural endorphins. There are also numerous physical effects which boost the circulatory, immune, nervous, digestive and the musculo-skeletal systems. Swedish massage, often thought of as the "spa type" massage, offers a more general treatment of the area being massaged, with the ability to work a little deeper in areas of increased muscle tension. It is mainly used for relaxation or sometimes to re-energise.

Deep tissue massage works on mild to moderate levels of muscle tension, involving a firmer pressure than Swedish, and slow strokes to reach deeper layers of muscle and fascia, relieving chronic aches and pains. It focuses more on chronic pain, recovery from injury and postural problems, than a Swedish massage, by targeting groups of muscles. Deep tissue techniques also help to break down scar tissue and muscle adhesions which can disrupt circulation, causing pain, limited range of motion, and inflammation. Deep tissue massage usually starts with a lighter pressure to warm up the muscles, followed by specific techniques to release adhesions and realign muscle fibres. It may occasionally involve some discomfort if the muscles are particularly tight, and if the body responds by tensing up it will be more difficult to reach the deeper muscles, so the client must say if it is uncomfortable, to allow the therapist to work a little longer on the superficial muscles. Deep tissue may not be suitable for some clients with medical conditions.

Sports massage incorporates some similar techniques to Swedish, but it tends to focus on particular muscles and their attachment points and involves greater pressure to work deeper into the tissues, which in turn produces greater effects. It helps reduce muscle tension by releasing adhesions and scar tissue, through the breakdown of cross-fibre connections within the muscle. By releasing tension, it will improve range of motion and reduce pain levels. Sports massage can be used to address a specific sports type injury, poor postural patterns and general recovery of the muscles after exercise.Athletes can use sports massage as a way of preparing for and recovering from an event by having a specific pre-event and/or post event massage.Although thought to be more suitable for athletes, sports massage is also good for those who experience stress-related muscle tension from work or day to day life events.
