Deep Tissue Massage Masters are hard to find

I have had many conversations with bodyworkers and normal people alike on the subject of a good deep tissue LMP. The conversation is the same: a good deep tissue massage therapist is hard to find.
I have the good heart to be humble most of the time but I must toot my horn on this account. I am one of the very best deep tissue and myofascial release massage practitioners in this region.
It takes a bit of dedication and talent, I believe, to become a very effective, gentle yet deeply impactful deep tissue expert.
A master of this art refines their skill to give both the felt experience of “deep” muscular therapy as well as having effective depth-control and specificity skills so that they accomplish repair and re-organizing of soft tissues goals while also doing well to not leave their clients feeling bruised all over.
I hate it when a deep tissue practitioner seems to have it as a goal to leave their clients feeling so worked over that they are hurting for 3 days or more.
Don’t get me wrong – if you like it that deep and painful – go for it, I can even get an evil sense of glee administering such work and there really are some people have so much hard and encasing scar tissue and fascial tissue that deep brutal massage is all that will work to get freedom in the soft tissue and body in general.
Most of us have a little more interest in walking the day after the massage and not cursing the name of our massage practitioner. I have found that deep massage must be handled and encased in the warm fuzzy bubble of deep nurturing as well. To just plow the hard adhesions is not enough, the whole body, heart, feelings and emotions need to be at least acknowledged in the process of deep soft tissue bodywork.

I tend to enjoy giving a massage that is undeniably deep but gentle in its ability to be accepted and assimilated by the body underneath my hands (or elbow, in this cases).

To each his own, I suppose. I just don’t want to feel bruised and mad at my therapist the next day.
