Came in for a massage because a friend recommended this place. It's the type of massage where they step on your back using poles on the ceiling to hold themselves up, because of this, the pressure they exert is pretty high. You can ask them to use their hands I would assume - that's if the pressure was too much. The women who did my massage constantly asked if the pressure was ok or too much - I appreciated this because I found some other places don't bother. Although she spoke limited English, she made very good efforts to communicate with me throughout the massage to make sure she wasn't applying too much pressure and that I was comfortable.
