Swedish — long, flowing strokes; relaxation focus.
Deep tissue — sustained pressure on chronic tension; expect some next-day soreness.
Sports — pre/post-event focus; targeted stretches.
Lymphatic drainage — very light, rhythmic strokes; popular post-surgery and post-cosmetic procedure.
Prenatal — side-lying or specialized pillow; book with a certified prenatal therapist after the first trimester.
