Deep Tissue and Swedish Massage can both be full-body massage experiences, but they feel noticeably different. The simplest distinction is pressure and pace: Deep Tissue is generally firmer and more focused, while Swedish uses longer, flowing movements and usually feels gentler.

Choose Deep Tissue if you prefer firmer work
Deep Tissue Massage is not about making a session unnecessarily painful. It is simply a more focused style that uses controlled, firmer pressure. Your comfort still matters, so tell the therapist if you want the pressure increased or reduced.
Choose Swedish if you prefer a gentler flowing session
Swedish Massage uses longer gliding strokes, kneading and rhythmic movements. Many first-time spa visitors find it easy to understand because the overall pace is smooth and familiar.
Pressure matters more than the label
Two people can choose the same massage and still want very different pressure. Before the session, explain whether you prefer light, medium or firm pressure. That conversation matters more than trying to choose based only on a massage name.
How Kohinoor handles the choice
If you are still deciding when you arrive, the team can explain the difference before you choose. Walk-ins are welcome and no advance payment is required. Individual massage prices are not published because options can vary by massage service, duration and preference.
