Hand and stone is more concerned with draping than doing a good, legit massage. They’re not even allowed to massage your hood or buttocks. So how the FUCK are you getting any benefit for things like lumbar or hip arthritis, and sciatica? American trained massage therapists are not even permitted to climb up on the table either. I LOVE it when they kneel with their knees on either side of my head, and put all 100 lbs into my sore and aching old body! Hands go on her calves, without any “inappropriate” contact, with ZERO objections, because it’s just a comfortable place to put them , vs dangling down beside the table. Try THAT with some uptight American bitch!
