For those of us internalizing daily tensions or travel related stress leading to stiff muscles, I recommend trying a session at Hiroshima Stretch.

At first,the friendly and well-trained staff do a short consultation and follow this up with an observational analysis to point out trouble sports. I tried the 60 min session and asked them to work on stiff shoulders, but didn't think I had any major issues. The staff, however, then pointed out imbalances in my stance worth working on.

The session started like a regular massage but involved more active participation on my part as it went on. The studio is bright and cheerful with pop music playing and the whole facility has the feel of a training center for the whole facility has the feel of a training senter for slite athletes.
