Thoroughly enjoyed the time and the pedicure was lovely after a few months on my feet.

My first visit some weeks ago was with Hannah. I am a runner and also hold stress and tension in my neck and shoulders so like a firm massage. Hannah was first rate. The next day I felt wonderful and all 'locked up' places were free. Today (28th) was less satisfactory. Having explained to the different therapist "I like it quite firm" she started off in an indifferent way but asked me if the firmness level was okay as she was working around my shoulder blades with her elbows - at that point the pressure was ideal. However, overall I felt the treatment was rather perfunctory - as if the therapist was going through the motions rather than actually being attentive. I know it was 6pm when we started so it might have been a long day but it was not really a "deep tissue" experience. Crudely speaking I like a 7.5/8 level of firmness and this was 6 at best! I found myself getting tense as my degree of dissatisfaction rose. I was mostly disappointed at myself for not expressing I preferred it firmer. But, as I explained to Hannah on the desk afterwards, as a 'bloke' who still (after many years) feels a little awkward about massages I find it a little creepy to keep asking for the massage to be 'firmer'. I know this is my 'stuff' and the therapist was probably doing her best but you have invited feedback and I had already committed myself to letting you know how I felt. I wouldn't want to give up on The Treatment Loft without expressing my dissatisfaction and providing another opportunity to rectify. My wife had a massage at the same time with Jackie and rates her experience as 'excellent'.
