A vigorous massage in the sports style; Natalia was very perceptive and attuned to tension and tightness in my muscles. and although it was sometimes sore getting the knots and tightness out, (and a bit ache-y the next day, as warned), the following day all aches gone and feeling 'ironed out'! Be warned, though, this level of pressure isn't for the faint-hearted, so let Natalia know if you prefer a lighter touch! But for working out deep seated issues, this is great.
