Strange massage technique used by the therapist. She kept talking throughout the massage. I had booked a late evening massage as it was the only time I could make it that day after work. The therapist was obviously keen to go home as she finished the massage 10 minutes early and said there was no time to work on my neck - I had told her at the beginning I wanted her to concentrate on my neck.
'Good pain' is the order of the day here. And it's definitely what I needed. Having tested a number of types of massage, this was the one that felt like it really produced immediate and obvious physical improvement which was the goal. However, it's not one you'd choose if you just wanted to relax - just so you know!
