The question we get most on WhatsApp: “which type should I choose?”. The answer depends on your goal — this comparison settles it.
Choose Swedish if…
- It’s your first session and you want a comfortable experience.
- Your goal is overall relaxation and better sleep.
- You prefer medium pressure and flowing strokes.
Choose Therapeutic if…
- You have a specific pain point: neck, shoulders, lower back.
- You want deeper pressure reaching the muscle knots.
- A slight stretch feeling during knot work doesn’t bother you.
The golden rule
There is no wrong choice — your specialist adjusts pressure during the session based on your response. Still unsure? Start with a 45-minute VIP massage and discover what suits you.
Swedish vs Therapeutic Massage

Both are available as a women’s home massage in Jeddah.
- Swedish: light–medium pressure, relaxation and deeper sleep.
- Therapeutic: deeper pressure, pain relief and mobility.
- First time? Start with Swedish.
