Communication:  The key to an effective deep tissue massage

Many people call me for a deep tissue massage in the Orlando area.

Many times they tell me their previous experiences, which usually fall into 1 of 2 categories:

  1. I can’t find someone to go deep enough
  2. I want a deep tissue massage, but the last therapist hurt me so I’m nervous

As far as pressure, I have never had someone leave my table saying they wish they could have gotten more pressure.

When it comes to the deep tissue massage not hurting, that is something I can offer as well.  There are a few levels of “hurt” and my goal is never to bring you to experience sharp pain that makes you hold your breath and tense up.  The goal of a deep tissue massage is to relieve your pain and also help you attain the “good hurt” feeling associated with a great deep tissue or sports massage.

You may find yourself asking for a specific type of massage, but it may not be the one you really want.

Many people are referred to my because they are in pain.  They no longer want to be in pain so they are seeking out alternative therapies to pain killers and just "dealing with it."  When they call, they often use a common buzz word associated with pain relief...Sports Massage.

Garbage Day: The greatest day of the week!

/

If you're older than 5, you may not get excited over garbage day anymore.

My 4 year old thinks its almost as good as Christmas.  And it comes every week!

I happen to enjoy garbage day for the simple fact all my old, used, dirty, smelly trash magically disappears.  My garage takes on a bearable smell for a few days and there's a feeling of starting fresh.  No more trash, everything in the house is clean.  It feels good.

What on earth does this have to do with massage?
