Massages, just for the pros?

I did a search on ART massage and couldn't find it

I know about Reiki (sp), deep tissue, sports, Swedish, Rolfing.

I get ROLF'ed about once a month. It's all I can afford. But its worth every cent. It's a good thing I'm a small person rather than 6' plus body builder. Can you imagine what the masseuse must think when a new client shows up and he looks like ARNOLD (Terminator guy) in his glory days. Now that would be a bad day for a masseuse.

The ROLFing I get is really deep and I like it that way. Sometimes it hurts but when you muscle is so tight like a string on a violin, it's going to hurt a bit.

And do drink plenty of water before and after.

I wish I could get a massage very day. maybe even once a week would be nice. But I'm just a pauper with queens need.

ART is Active Release Technique. I could be wrong but I don't think it's a type of massage but it's a technique that can be used during massage?? My chiropractor uses it and my former massage therapist used it. It hurts like crazy but it works. Has anyone ever had the Graston Technique used on them? Another very painful technique and you end up with bruises all over your body.

Should have googled before I responded. ART is a massage technique.

I always assumed that it was a form of torture that was used during a massage.
