Question 4

How do I choose between Thai, Swedish, and deep tissue?

Accepted Answer

If you want deep relaxation with gentle pressure — Swedish. If you have chronic muscle tension or pain — deep tissue. If you want stretching, pressure points, and a firmer, more active massage — Thai. When in doubt, message the therapist directly on WhatsApp and describe what you're hoping for.
