Due to a number of questions over the years about the nature of Swedish Massage, let me clarify.  Swedish Massage is therapeutic.  It does not include various "adult entertainment" services.  I do not massage parts of the body you could be arrested for exposing in public.  If you have that misconception about Swedish or any other form of massage and are looking for non-therapeutic massage, do not contact a massage provider whose name is followed by CMT, LMT, or RMP.  We worked for our education and to obtain and maintain our licenses; few of us find adult services questions original or funny. 

The same person is never exactly the same from one session to the next, so during a Deep Tissue session, I will ask for more feedback.  I may ask you to deepen your breathing, lift some part of your body against my hand, or stretch.  I may also ask you to do nothing, which is more difficult than it sounds.  Deep Tissue is more effective than Swedish for relieving aches and pains, but it requires you, the client, to take a more active role in the session.  Contrary to popular belief, Deep Tissue massage should not be painful.  The "no pain, no gain" theory is counter-productive and Deep Tissue work is done effectively when the muscle tissue is properly warmed up prior to deep compressions and glides.
