Chose a 90 minute hot stone massage over a deep tissue and regretted it for days

Picked hot stones thinking it'd be relaxing but my client's knots were so bad I spent the whole time trying not to drop rocks on her face. Has anyone else had a modality totally backfire on them?

Massages aren't that deep, you just had a bad day with one client... it's not like the modality itself is cursed or anything.

Wait, you were the massage therapist? Oh nooo, I totally misread that at first. That's rough. I can't even imagine trying to balance those heavy hot stones while working on a client's neck. Like one wrong move and you're apologizing for a burn or a dropped rock on their face. That pressure would make me so anxious I'd forget all about relaxing. I feel for you, that sounds like a stressful 90 minutes. Sometimes a modality just turns into a survival mode thing instead of a relaxing service.
