Deep tissue massage in Crystal River

Slow, deliberate pressure into the layers a relaxation massage doesn't reach. At the studio in Inverness, a short drive from Crystal River — or at home once you're an established client.

There are a few things worth checking first
What the hour is like
The studio is in Inverness on Gulf to Lake Hwy, a short drive from Crystal River, so the town in the address does not have to match your zip code. We spend the first ten minutes finding the thing. Where it is, how long it's been there, what you've already tried, what makes it worse. Then I work, and I work slowly, because deep work done fast is just hard work and you'll brace against it.
Pressure is agreed between us and it changes the moment you say so. You shouldn't be gripping the table, because if you are, we are working too heavy, and I'd rather know at minute six than hear about it a week later. It's $85 for the hour and $119 for ninety minutes.
Who tends to book it
Most of the people who book this one are on their feet all day or behind a wheel. Some of them lift for a living. Others have had plenty of pleasant massages somewhere else and want somebody to get in there and work.
Walter C. left this in the reviews on my home page: “I highly recommend Maureen's massages”.
When to call me first
If you are on blood thinners, recently post-surgical, being treated for cancer, or you have a clotting history, give me a call before you book. Two minutes on the phone and I will know what we can do.
Questions
Is deep tissue massage supposed to hurt?
No. I work inside your comfort threshold and the pressure changes the moment you say so. Gritting your teeth through an hour is not something I ask anyone to do.
How sore will I be afterward?
Some people feel worked over for a day, the way you do after exercise you're not used to. Drink water and take it easy that evening. If anything feels wrong, call me, because I would rather hear from you than not.
Sixty minutes or ninety?
Sixty is enough for one region, a neck and shoulders or a low back. Ninety is for a full body at depth, or for more than one thing going on. I would rather do less thoroughly than more in a hurry.
