Swedish vs. Deep Tissue Massage: What’s Best for You in Mykonos?
Introduction: Two Therapies, One Goal — Your Wellbeing
When booking a massage in Mykonos, two of the most requested therapies are Swedish and Deep Tissue massage. While they might seem similar, each offers distinct techniques and benefits. At Mykonos Therapy, we help luxury clients choose the ideal treatment — whether they’re here to relax or recover.
In this guide, we compare Swedish and Deep Tissue massage to help you decide which is best for your body, mood, and holiday goals.
🌿 What Is a Swedish Massage?
A Swedish massage is the most classic and popular style of massage therapy in the world. It focuses on long, flowing strokes that gently ease tension, improve circulation, and promote total relaxation.
💡 Key Features:
Light to moderate pressure
Smooth, gliding strokes
Focused on relaxation and stress relief
Ideal for first-time clients or light tension
👉 Best For:
Jet lag recovery
Emotional relaxation
General wellness and improved sleep

🔥 What Is a Deep Tissue Massage?
A Deep Tissue massage targets deeper layers of muscle and fascia. It’s designed to break down adhesions (knots), improve mobility, and relieve chronic tension. While it can be intense, it provides lasting relief from stiffness or discomfort.
💡 Key Features:
Firm to deep pressure
Slower, targeted techniques
Focused on problem areas (back, shoulders, legs)
Can be slightly uncomfortable during treatment, but therapeutic
👉 Best For:
Athletes and active travelers
