It ALL depends on who is doing it and their technique. I'm going for a 90 minute, deep tissue massage on Saturday. Hopefully I can find another guy like the last one I had in Az/Hell. He could work out ALL the knots in one shot and while yes, some of them were major and hurt a Lot, once he was done-I felt SOOOO much better. The first one left me feeling really trippy like I was on a strange high of some kind because of all of the toxins being released. That was bizarre! <br /><br />When you're so tense and the muscles in your neck are so tight you have nauseating headaches every day and can't turn your head much at all, a massage can bring much needed relief and you look forward to them.
