Massage is personal. Too light and it was a nap you paid for, too deep and you are sore for two days. The only way to know is to hear from people who booked it.
These reviews describe their experience, the pressure they got and the results, which is exactly what to tell us when you book so you get the same.

I have found my happy place in Tampa
“I have found my happy place in Tampa! Since moving here, I have been searching for my spot to get away, decompress, and recharge. From the moment I walked through the door, I was transported to a space where relaxation, friendliness, and "me time" is priority. My facial included a massage that was TO DIE FOR and my skin has never looked better! I wanted to take Don, the massage therapist, home with me. His friendly nature and attentiveness to what I was hoping for in a massage was second to none. Do yourself a favor and head over to Pia Spa you will be so thankful you did! ”
I have never had a facial or a massage before
“I have never had a facial or a massage before. My mom purchased this experience for me as a gift before my wedding. I will probably never be the same person again. I was so relaxed after my facial that I had to sit in my car to make sure I was fully awake before driving. My aesthetician was incredibly soothing and informative and helpful with my skin care concerns. I will recommend this spa to everyone I know. ”

Don is the most incredible masseuse
