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.
