Strange - I've seen him in the past, and he was great - and very responsive. Entirely therapeutic, no draping though if I recall.
He does do a lot of stepping and some more traditional massage with (a very small amount of) oil. I remember wishing he had put on a fresh pair of socks on prior to the stepping, besides that though, I had nothing short of stellar session with him. Really nice and talented guy. Too bad you're not getting the same level of service.
Also, I notice his prices went up by quite a bit. I recall his 90m rate being closer to $160, now it's $185.
