Types of Seoul Swedish Massage, Explained

Seoul Swedish massage is meant to relax muscles, but the pressure and oil used vary a lot between studios. Some offer a light, gliding style, while others focus on deep tissue with firmer pressure — picking the right one makes a big difference in satisfaction. Oil massage simply adds oil to the Swedish technique, while aromatherapy massage adds the scent and benefits of essential oils on top of that. If stress relief is the goal, aromatherapy with its emphasis on scent works well; if pure muscle relaxation is the goal, standard Swedish massage is the better fit.
