Therapist/Bodyworkers are not all are the same. They can vary a great deal. For me when I am getting a massage it is about knowing my intention for relaxation, deep tissue, fascia release or to work through an issue my body might be holding on to or a combination – for me it is about results. That is also why, as a practitioner, I appreciate client feedback and we work as a team, I get to listen to the body and facilitate the healing. This is may not always be the case with all therapists. Ultimately, it is finding what works best for you.
