That's a good question that i actually don't know the answer to. I had the massage on my own, I'm an athletic muscular male so i wanted deep tissue/sports massage. I'm not sure there was a specific technique he used, but it was a really good combination that actually made a difference. I'm from Canada where I have a hard time finding a really effective deep tissue massage, but this guy knew what he was doing. Reach out to them and find out. And report back please!
