My massage therapist was Kevin. Initially, he seemed a bit awkward but I let his skills do the talking. He did this special kind of shiatsu that's combined with lomi lomi, which I found interesting. I've had a lot of massages before, and as a chiropractor I'm constantly evaluating massage therapists on their touch, skill, and knowledge of the body. I felt that Kevin knew all the tense points. There were some sensitive points, which had a little too much pressure... but after withstanding the pressures, those points loosened up. He even worked on my knee, which most CMTs don't know too much about what to do (IMO).
One interesting thing that differentiated Kevin from other CMTs I've tried in the past is that he tried to balance the length of my legs. Now that's a first from a CMT so far. I thought only chiropractors did this. I did appreciate it, because I am due for an adjustment (yes, even chiropractors need adjustments!).

Kevin gives the best deep tissue massage - ever! I don't get massages very often but when I do, it's because I really need it. Meaning, my muscles are really knotty and messed up so I don't need anybody to just rub my back. When I say deep tissue, I want it to be painful. Kevin was very deliberate, thorough, very patient, and really worked hard to release the pressure on my back, shoulder and legs. It was supposed to be a 60min massage but I was there for 1.5 hours and he didn't charge me extra. Of course I tipped him!

Kevin was my massage therapist and he was very professional, quiet, and skilled. Good pressure and personalization - he listened to me and made adjustments to the way he was doing the massage. I would recommend him.

I had a truly wonderful massage with Kevin. Not only did he thoroughly work out my tight, knotted up shoulders and neck, but he also spent the rest of the time soothing the rest of me. It's hard for me to believe I had both a painfully therapeutic and blissfully relaxing massage, all in one hour! I walked outta there all wobbly legs, drifting back from my happy place. :)
