泰心泰式生活館 — Local services in Taipei

I really wanted to like this place because the price is right and they were open when everyone else was closed. But I don’t feel that their masseuses are adequately trained. At least mine seemed to only be able to work in two pressures of “too weak” or “too painful”; with no increments in between.

The setup was on a narrow table instead of a floor futon so at some points when I was told to turn to a side, my knees were dangling off the table (I’m only 5’3” mind you) and I had to keep from falling off as the masseuse was pushing down. It made it hard to fully relax.

The worst of all was another guest two stalls down was loudly chit chatting with his masseuse the entire time and I had to listen to him hollering about how the massage was too painful. Apparently he’s a regular there and is that way because he routinely gets drunk then goes there for a massage.

I thought all masseuses should have gone through the same training and follow certain procedures in the place. But no, it differs a lot from masseuse to masseuse. Quality is not consistent. Shame that I didn't remember the number of the masseuse I like. Would...
