The two biggest variables I can think of are what kind of massage and where (on your bod). My PN is in my feet, so anywhere else is fine; in fact I depend on myofascial trigger point massage to help control pain in/from my spine, & migraines.

My feet are sensitive, but are also usually swollen with edema. Having that carefully "pressed out" feels good.

Mike, I'm sure you can think of a pleasant alternative.
