My LMT is a real gem, but maybe there are more like her out there. She's a Reiki practitioner as well as having a really strong background in neuromuscular techniques and physical therapy. The way she explains it, she opens the channels to release endorphins before she goes deep. I'll be lying there thinking, "this should really be hurting, I'm in agony when my other LMT does this," but it doesn't hurt at all.

If I could pay her to follow me wherever I go I'd have her on retainer in a heartbeat.
