Is a Thai Massage more effective than a Swedish Massage for correcting muscular imbalances?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I have been in the Massage Therapy field for over fifteen years. I have trained in and taught many styles of massage.
A Swedish massage is very different from Thai. Swedish focuses on the lymphatic system with long strokes. Using plenty of lotion or oil, this type of bodywork is the most popular for relaxation.
Thai massage is very physical for both the therapist and the client.
This style is usually done on the floor. The client is dressed and there is no oil used. It involves stretching and deep tissue work, unlike Swedish. This style also focuses on range of motion, using poses and acupressure.
Ideally, a good massage therapist can utilize many of the different styles that they learn and incorporate many moves from many different techniques to compliment the clients needs.
