My clients have referred to my massage style as detailed and intuitive. I have a routine for assessing the body during the massage to not miss any muscular issues. I use slow, deep strokes that are based on each particular client's pain tolerance (but I can adjust pressure as requested by the client). I watch and read the body while I work to make sure my client is comfortable, even if they do not speak up. There are small clues to discomfort such as, wincing, wiggling toes or clenching hands. These things may mean pressure it is too deep for them and needs adjusted.
