I've had several massages, usually deep tissue work for chronic back pain and they are always really helpful. I don't like just getting a "relaxing" massage becuase of the back problems I have...I try to carefully select a therapist who can do the deep, corrective body work I need. What about you?

I get them primarily for relaxation and reduction of stress. I am also a licensed therapist so it allows me the opportunity to do trades.

I would love to find a therapist around here to trade with! :-) Unfortunately I'm still driving 2 hours to find a therapist similar is style to what I do.
