Swedish vs. Deep-Tissue Massage: Finding the Right Way to Relax

The relationship between deep-tissue and Swedish massage is much like that between penicillin and Sudafed. Both are designed to help you feel better, but the one that makes the most sense depends on your individual symptoms and goals. Here's what to expect from each of the two modalities:

Swedish massage combines four distinct motions—effleurage, petrissage, friction, and tapotement—to help relieve muscle tension and stimulate blood flow, thereby energizing the body and soothing the mind during a single relaxing session. The four phases are easy enough to distinguish. Effleurage refers to the smooth, gliding strokes that help relax soft tissues at the beginning of the treatment, followed by the squeezing, rolling, or kneading gestures of petrissage. Deep, circular motions make up the friction phase, in which layers of tissue rub against one another to boost circulation. Therapists conclude the massage with tapotement, a rapid cadence of percussive taps performed with cupped hands, fingers, or the edge of the hand.

Whereas Swedish massage focuses on relieving mental and physical tension, deep-tissue massage has more specific concerns. Due to stress and other factors, the layer of connective tissue that covers and interpenetrates the body's muscles and bones—the fascia—often tenses up, resulting in muscle knots and a painful buildup of lactic acid. Deep-tissue massage aims to warm up the fascia and release the accumulated toxins. To achieve this, the therapist’s fingers, thumbs, and elbows move along the body in slow, deliberate strokes, applying pressure to penetrate beyond superficial muscle layers. Although the intensity can produce some discomfort, deep-tissue massage should still be relaxing; the goal, after all, is to relieve the tension between muscles and their weird roommate, the skeleton.

The Groupon Guide to: Astronaut Skills

Astronauts need to be world-class athletes, die-hard patriots, and scientific masterminds, but any montage of astronaut training also reveals these other crucial skills they possess:

  • Holding your breath for more than 30 seconds, even if someone is trying to make you laugh
  • Saying "Tang tastes as good as orange juice" with a straight face
  • Being blessed with particularly flappable cheeks
  • Juggling three beanbags at once (if you're that good on Earth, imagine how good you'll be without gravity!)
  • Being bald or having very little hair (male astronauts only)
  • Naming all the planets in correct order in fewer than three tries
  • Providing their own space suit

Do you have the unexpected skills needed to be an unlikely astronaut? Find out in today's Groupon Guide.
