Nofear46 Recommended
Redland City, Queensland, Australia
I had a pleasant exchange with Nofear46 at his place.
He took care to make me comfortable and get everything ready. Drinks offered, oil warmed up and infused with mint tea bag.
His bodywork is energetic and he likes to swap four times during the treatment: work back upper body, then legs-lower body, then the front. Medium pressure at quite a fast pace, with sensual touch mixed in.
His work is thorough and he gives his best at all times. Effective and honest treatment by a talented amateur, recommended for the like.

As for all of us, some room for improvement. Feeling and focusing on trigger points and problem areas as opposed to broad-brush; varying techniques and pressure for more interest and effect, mixing in some stretching into the routine would improve what is already a very good experience.

This was the first time I tried 3-part treatment with 4 swaps. In my personal opinion, the experience is a bit start-stop and interrupts the flow more than necessary in comparison to whole body or a two-swap back-front routine.

Massagaholic7 Highly Recommended
Mole Valley, England, United Kingdom
We agreed with Massagaholic7 at 5pm after his shift. He was late for a reason, and that has eaten into the time allocated to the session, which was nonetheless worth waiting for.
He administers a thorough rub to all the body, generous strokes and kneading where required. The depth of work is medium to light, which is a pleasant and relaxing experience. He is tactile and his warm personality shines through.
As a bonus, he has a very fit body, very pleasant to work on.
Overall very nice experience.

SportsRemedial Highly Recommended
Windsor, England, United Kingdom
SportsRemedial is still in training, but is already capable of providing one of the best treatments I've had. It is scary to think how good he will be with a bit of experience!
He has firm but gentle touch, and lots of empathy. He does not perform a routine, but feels around the body and focuses on the problem spots. His techniques are varied and effective, and he is generous with the time. His strokes are never rushed, and you always have a sense of caring treatment, as opposed to a procedure.
If that was not enough, he has a fit body that is a pleasure to work on.

kingstonguy Recommended
Kingston upon Thames, United Kingdom
kingstonguy is pleasant, mild mannered and very welcoming.
He met me at the car park and took me to his place. The flat is nice, safe and clean, the treatment couch firm and comfortable. Drink was offered and massage commenced.
His massage technique is dominated by pleasant long relaxing strokes, working on superficial nerves rather than muscles. He is generous with time and gives plenty of attention to body sections as he moves along. Overall pleasant and relaxing experience.
Further improvements might be learning a few more varied standard massage techniques, using fingers, knuckles, elbows, edge of the hand and palms, detecting and discerning tensed muscles so that deeper therapeutic work could be incorporated into the routine.
Well worth swapping.

Arlem Highly Recommended
London, United Kingdom
Had a pleasure of meeting Arlem for a swap. His enthusiasm, strength and empathy more than compensates for the lack of experience, which he will sure gather very quickly, as he is observant and a quick learner. A couple more swaps with more technical partners, and he will match most of the pros.
Also must mention a very massageable, toned body. He is a pleasure to massage, too.

Sagittarian Highly Recommended
Luxembourg, Luxembourg
If you are looking for a DEEP work, coming to Sagittarian is the right place to come. He will sqeeze every knot until they surrender, and every muscle until they are soft as a baby. It is hard work for both the masseur and the client, and not for the faint-hearted... While I will be pressed to say I have enjoyed the process, I certainly enjoy the results. I have asked for a deep work, and that's what I've got, for sure.
I am sure that Sagittarian has a range of more relaxing and pleasant techniques, which we did not have time to explore on this occasion because my tense muscles required so much work. I am looking to repeat the unique deep treatment he offers (I have not had such a thorough work from anyone else in the UK) for a few times and then, when my knots are sorted and muscles are relaxed, try to see what other techniques I can learn from him.

Dear aris20, thank you so much for the review... greatly appreciated and I hope we can exchange soon again... Felt great after your massage

Pothos Highly Recommended
Zürich, Zurich, Switzerland
Had a great pleasure to swap with londondude. He made me feel welcome and comfortable from the first second, even though I was a bit irky after battling the traffic. The room was comfortable size and temperature, table ready - all I could wish for.

londondude has very strong yet gentle hands, letting long slow deep strokes work their magic. Deep yet pleasant work is rare to come by. He is thorough and careful, not technical yet with more skill than he lets on. I certainly recommend to jump at a chance to exchange with londondude.

Raymond3 Highly Recommended
London, United Kingdom
Had a pleasure to swap with Raymond3. He has strong but gentle hands that he applies well to the whole body for a good effect. The approach is on the "holistic" side, working the body as a whole, rather than focused on a particular knot or muscle, but not shallow as some relaxation-type massages can be. Very pleasant experience.

trickyfingers Highly Recommended
Gloucester, New South Wales, Australia
trickyfingers is a highly experienced professional who gives you both extremely thorough treatment and a great pleasure and relaxation at the same time. Deep work on every muscle is punctuated by light relaxing touch which takes away the potential strain that a deep manipulation can sometimes cause. Extremely good experience; I could not wish for anything more.

ME-68349 Highly Recommended
null
I must had been in luck to trade a massage with sonicsoma. I was looking forward to the swap, and wasn't disappointed. Not only he is personable and welcoming, he is also very thorough and attentive with his massage subject. Very careful but firm, very generous with time wherever required, confident and organized. I hope for another swap before long!
