| - I get a 90 minute deep tissue massage once every three weeks for over 5 years now. My regular LMT started her own boutique and business took off which often makes it difficult to get my massage in with my schedule...I've built a tolerance for deep tissue so even when trying other places, it just seemed like they would have to move to a trigger massage to really make a difference which means you miss out on long strokes....
Fast forward to a month ago, I ran across a Groupon for Past Tense Pain and figured I'd give it a try... Location is convenient to home and work... Stephanie was super friendly, we went through my ailments and some of my concerns. I must've looked at the clock unintentionally (as we all know most places ask what you need help with but it definitely comes out of your touch time) She caught me looking and said "Don't worry about the time, I do the full 90 minutes of touch, I just want to make sure I'm fully understanding what your needs are...I want to make sure I'm helping you"...I think I paused out of confusion lol.
Massage starts and from the first hand she laid on me I knew I was hooked! There were even times I had to manage my breathing - I could've asked her at any point to lighten the pressure, but it had been so long I knew my body needed it. I have massive tension and tightness and she reached areas I don't think I've ever had anyone reach...I knew instantly I had to make my next appt ASAP!
I am sitting multiple hours a day, I travel a lot so 6 hour flights...sitting, slouching, on my phone and laptop.... It wrecks your body.... And that's with anything anyone does, my stay at home momma's lift, stretch awkwardly, and are constantly on the go....
I don't see a GOOD deep tissue as a luxury, you have to look at it as a tool in holistic health, the benefits are endless...circulation, headache relief without popping pills, posture, stress relief, promotes deep sleep...I can go on and on!
That being said, I had to really look at my "luxury" expenses and decided to stop my lash extensions and manicures in order to take care of my body every two weeks. It has been the BEST health decision ever! I move different, feel amazing and have been able to start working out again!
Stephanie truly cares about your overall wellness, that coupled with her talent of reading your body as she massages is worth every penny!
