I received a 2 hour shiatsu massage today coming in with rotator cuff disease. I left with a new issue - numbness/tingling due to strong pressure placed in the neck/shoulder/chest area on the front that caused numbing/tingling in my ulnar nerve. 9 hours later I still cant fully feel my pinky/index finger and areas related to that nerve. They should know not to put excessive force where nerves connect. Im very disappointed and scared. I never had issues with this area before and have had chronic shoulder issues for a year and a half. If you have injuries I would go elsewhere to somewhere like Jada studios (and/or a skilled physical therapist as you can afford) which is where I may be heading. All the relief I received from the massage is negated by the extra anxiety from this new body discomfort. I know it wasnt intentional and im sure I couldve tried to communicate more also. Also come in early to fill out the paperwork. I didnt and just went off a conversation and filled everything out after (probably not a great order to communicate when the information is helpful for them even though we talked for 15-20 minutes prior still). Everything moves so fast and they didnt check about that area before applying pressure. I hope this is resolved soon like they say and I still shouldnt have to come out of my massage with a nerve issue and more anxiety. Edit: two days later and now I have an appointment with a hand to shoulder doctor in the morning. Its effected my sleep and the last few days. Wish I wouldve spoken up about pressure and asked for a gentle massage. Not a smart idea at a training school to do shiatsu based on my experience. I was struggling to open jars and do much and Im a student that need to do a lot of typing at the end of the semester.

Edit: I have a doctors appointment tomorrow and also may need some imaging done to determine the extent of it. Hopefully Im just overreacting and its not injured. Ill be happy if thats the case and consider myself very fortunate

I received an 2 hour shiatsu massage Sunday coming in with rotator cuff disease. I left with a new issue - numbness/tingling due to strong pressure placed in the neck/shoulder/chest area on the front that caused numbing/tingling in my ulnar nerve. 9 hours later I still can't fully feel my pinky/index finger and areas related to that nerve. They should know not to put excessive force where nerves connect. I'm very disappointed and scared. I never had issues with this area before and have had chronic shoulder issues for a year and a half. If you have injuries I would go elsewhere to somewhere like Jada studios (and/or a skilled physical therapist as you can afford) which is where I may be heading.

I didn't and just went off a conversation and filled everything out after (probably not a great order to communicate when the information is helpful for them even though we talked for 15-20 minutes prior still). Everything moves so fast and they didn't  check about that area before applying pressure. I hope this is resolved soon like they say and I still shouldn't have to come out of my massage with a nerve issue and more anxiety.
