I have grown to like deep-tissue massages. So much pain while it is happening BUT the feeling afterwards is usually one of liberation. I have not been able to exercise much the last few weeks. I've been busy. So, this date with the masseuse is something that I am looking forward to: 2-1/2 hours of pain with my hilot. She comes from a family of albularios (Philippine folk doctors).
My extremities are usually quite cold to touch. (Yes, I can be "cold-blooded"... sometimes!) My masseuse says that's because blood is not circulating properly. I believe her because, after our session, my feet and hands would normally warm up and would stay warm for a few days. My face would also look slightly different afterwards... brighter.
What is your favorite type of massage?

Look up chigong. Not sure how it is spelled.

Acupuncture without the needles.
Holistic. Interesting and effective if done by the right person.
