Hand and Stone

I had a Swedish massage but should have booked a deep tissue.

I never give anyone the score!

Therapist didn't seem particularly interested in my concerns. Not really friendly despite the fact that this was my 3rd massage w her. Seemed a bit aloof. I will want to try another therapist. The massage was ok but I've had better. I feel that when asking for the massage to be therapeutic in relieving pain the therapist should work her way gradually to more firm pressure. She seemed to begin with firm pressure from the start. I wouldn't say that my experience was negative; it just doesn't stand out as wonderfully positive.

My massage was extremely relaxing. I had indicated on my form that I like a firm touch. My massage therapist have a nice massage, but I would have liked a much firmer touch.

It's just really hard to get a massage appointment!

first visit - the membership was not explained to me - i may have been interested in signing up.

Started late and service ended early (less than 45min treatment)

The massage therapist went a little fast with her techniques. Perhaps I should've told her to slow down, but I felt as if the pace was a bit fast, instead of slower and more relaxing.

The first thing the therapist said to me was that I had a hunchback. I think it was a cultural and language disconnect but it did not feel like a nice way to begin. She was quite good with her massage as I really needed deep tissue and trigger point work. However, several times when I indicated that hat she was doing was painful, she did not ease off with the amount of pressure. I figure that when I can feel my muscles tensing in pain, I will not get benefit from the work. I felt that she knew what I needed to address the issue I came in with but was not as responsive as she could have been to my expressions of discomfort with amount of pressure. I left feeeling like I will try another therapist who may be just as good as she was but more responsive and a bit less blunt. And I am open to using her again also. So my experience was a mixed experience. Her massage was really good but I would have preferred a gentler manner.
