By the job
For carpenters, linemen, movers and warehouse crews.
Lifting and carrying load the shoulders, the upper back and the forearms, day after day. This is deep tissue: slow, firm work with the forearm and the hands on the areas you ask for, with the pressure checked at the start, in the middle and before the end.
Deep tissue, 60 minutes
A longer session adds a second area
Either therapist; Donnie takes most lifting days
What happens
What you lift, how often and which side takes the load.
A sheet over you. The back, shoulders and neck are uncovered one area at a time.
Forearm and hands on the shoulders and the upper back, at the pressure you pick.
Forearms and hands last, since they hold the grip all day. Then a minute to sit up.
Good to know
Deep does not mean hard to take. Start where you are comfortable and go firmer when you are ready.
You are under a sheet or towel the whole time. Only the part we are working on is uncovered.
Come as you are. Shirts off if you like, or on; we work around whatever you keep on. Hang a coat on the hook by the door.
If you are pregnant, or have had surgery or an injury lately, ask your doctor before you book.
Licensed massage therapist
Donnie came to massage after a career on job sites, and he knows what a ladder, a truck seat and a full tool belt ask of a body by Friday. He does the slower, firmer work, deep tissue for shoulders, back and hips, and he checks the pressure at the start, in the middle and before the end. He speaks English.
It is your call. We start at a pressure you choose, check again halfway and before the end, and go firmer or lighter whenever you say.
Some people feel they have worked after a deep session, and some do not. Tell us how you felt and we will adjust the next one.
Either. Donnie does most of the slower, firmer work, and Dixie is just as steady if you like a lighter touch.
Choose a day and a therapist, or call and we will find a time.
