This was a new experience for me. My girlfriend bought it for me as a gift and like that it was more for toxin release. I don't know if it does release toxins but it was relaxing and the tools she used made for a different experience. I enjoyed it and would consider doing this again. Much different than a traditional massage but we knew that going in. She explained what the massage does and the techniques and tools she would be using. I had a good experience and recommend trying it.
