Deep Tissue Massage:

Deep Tissue Massage is designed to reach the deep portions of thick muscles, specifically the individual muscle fibers. Deep tissue massage uses many of the same movements and techniques as Swedish massage, but the pressure will generally be more intense. Using deep muscle compression and friction along the grain of the muscle, it is a more focused type of massage, to release chronic muscle tension or knots (also known as "adhesions.")

It shouldn't hurt, but it's likely to be a bit more uncomfortable than a classic Swedish massage. You should always feel free to speak up if the pressure is too much for you.
