She pulled back when I jumped a few times. After it was done we met to discuss the session and talk about more. I have never seen such a look of concern on a strangers face. I made one for the following week, a double session.

The next morning I was sore, but slightly looser. It lasted for a few days, ebbing like the flame of an old candle until Saturday (the massage was on a Wednesday) when it was back to muscles like cables.

The double session was amazing. I was sore the next day, but the slower paced massage with leg emphasis made me happy. I scheduled one more to see if I could obtain progression in relief.

The same therapist all three times. This one was a dud. I have an insurance plan that allows for a few more visits, so I may try again if it gets bad enough. If your pn has any consistent level of extreme tactile sensitivity I'd pass.

If it is not expensive out of pocket I'd suggest trying it.
