Who are my massage experts?

I can count on two fingers the number of times in my life I've gotten a massage. I tend to shy away from them because I bruise really easily (My dad called me Peaches growing up), so they leave me really sore with blue/purple marks up my back the next day.

But Sunday my friends and I are doing our typical girls day out in lieu of a shower for our friends due in early March. We're going to a place that only does massages. Any one have any recommendations for the best one for me? My choices are "Asian style," "Deep Tissue" or "Lazy Yoga."

I'm not sure of the styles but you can ask them to do it very lightly and tell them you bruise. They should know how to avoid bruising you. My best friend has this issue.

I only know about deep tissue and after google the others, I would go for a Lazy Yoga massage and just tell them you bruise easy and to use light to medium pressure.

From the names of them, lazy yoga sounds the most gentle. Deep tissue will be the most pressure as they'll really get in and work your muscles so probably not the best. Agree to ask for light pressure.

I'd definitely stay away from deep tissue. It's usually to loosen muscles and increase flexibilty so they use a ton of pressure. I love mine but they are not relaxing and even if you don't bruise easily sometimes you end up with the odd bruise. No advice on the other two though.
