Hi PamelaJune,

If you've posted any background on this therapy, I'm sorry, I missed it.

Does this person have any formal education/training/certification/license in this discipline?

I find that a little concerning. Massage therapists here are licensed/certified, which requires specific educational & testing fulfillments.

I'm not familiar with this type of massage at all, but I do have some experience with myofascial trigger point therapy ("massage"), and that can definitely leave one sore/achey for a day or two afterward.
