I have a client that I see in her home. She wants 2 hours of deep tissue. I hurt so bad after a session with her... anyone who does deep work have any suggestions?
I might not be cut out for this type of work

Use Gliding Cup Massage - It's easier on the therapist and quite satisfying for the client. Negative pressure/suction can be adjusted from ultra light to intensely deep. I used to use a combo of flexible silicon cups and hard plastic with pump. Got great results without wearing myself out! Just so happens I'm teaching a class this January 22, 2017 for the NY State Society of Medical Massage Therapists. Here are the details: http://nysmassage.org/event-2397569 (FYI: this will be the last class I will teach for the Society - retirement in New Mexico here I come)
