Aleksandra was great. I've been coming to Joe for a while now, and she was of very high standard. Perhaps not quite as "brutal" as Joe, so I'd recommend her if you're looking for something slightly less intense.
If you're looking for real-deal deep-tissue work, Joe is your man. He is not for the faint of heart: broad, brawny and training as a physiotherapist, he goes for therapeutic results rather than an overall feel-good. His technique combines his extensive knowledge of the anatomy with as much pressure as you can stand (but never more -- he is very professional and considerate). The experience can therefore be uncomfortable at times, and you might feel a bit bruised for a day or two, but feeling tension and built-up scar tissue dissolve under his touch makes it well worthwhile.
Have had 2 Sports/Deep Tissue massages with Aleksandra and both have been superb! I don't know how she does it without severe hand cramp(!), but very strong pressure and manages to turn my 'stones' of shoulders human again. Can't fault; highly professional, friendly and thorough.
