If you book a Swedish massage here, clearly confirm the pressure and massage style with your therapist upfront — and don’t hesitate to stop or reschedule if it feels more like deep tissue.
I booked a Swedish massage, but the session felt deep, aggressive, and rushed, more like deep tissue. I asked for lighter pressure during the massage, but it did not meaningfully change, and the massage became painful rather than relaxing.
After the session, I wasn’t asked how the massage went and was instead asked if I was “okay,” which felt concerning. Within hours, I developed significant pain along with widespread redness and bruising on my back and neck, making it uncomfortable to even lean back or sit normally.
Sharing this to help future clients: confirm the massage type and pressure in detail, speak up early, and if it doesn’t improve, consider ending or rescheduling the session rather than pushing through pain.
I, however, will not be returning.
