I have severe lumbar disk problems. I had heard about SpaMassage and Pete, and stumbled across a nice coupon deal. On the first appointment, Pete wanted details about my situation and was very thorough. He moved and worked slowly and methodically through the trouble areas, with deep pressure, rolling pressure and stretching at just the right spots. He really seemed to intuitively grasp my peculiar injuries, arthritic conditions, etc. I've been back to see him several times, and if you buy the next one on the way out the door, you get a nice discount.
Give it a try; if you know the kind of technique that works best for you, ask about the therapists to see who is the best fit.
