I don't think the person who gave me my massage had any formal training. She didn't work on the knots in my neck, didn't seem to know where my muscles where because he didn't massage them much, and poked me really hard in sensitive areas. I literally cringed at one point. The question might be, "did you give her direction and feedback?" I would have had to do that for 45 minutes out of the 55 min massage. I just find it hard to believe that the person who worked on me had any training at all.
