9/26/24 THE MASSAGE EXPERIENCE: On this one and only occasion, I am having trouble remembering if I was draped for this two hour session with Roxanne. As it turns out, I do not remember.
Nevertheless, Roxanne started off with using pressure on my back and shoulders. I would like to say she was on top of the massage table applying direct press to my upper back and shoulders.
I can't begin to tell you wait a relief for me it was. Roxanne kept this up moving down my back and gluteus maximus. The sleeping on the spring mattress at my Aunt's house wasn't doing me any favors. I found out later on, that the spring mattress was hurting my wife too. We are both use to a Memory Foam Mattress.
My shoulders..., and more importantly, my right shoulder were very stiff. The same could be said for my back, glutes and legs. Roxanne worked on these muscles with precision and speed.
Roxanne had only begun with the preliminaries without using oil or lotion. Roxanne helped treat the problems that my shoulder pains were causing. I have not been able to entirely get rid of my Frozen Shoulder, but it is not the same as it was in Seattle Washington.
The treatment continued with Roxanne as she finished the preliminaries and started in with the oil. Roxanne combined some stretching in the the massage as it helped relieve the tension in my body.
The feeling of falling asleep while the massage is going on would be nice, but not ideal. Why? You might be asking. In short, you will miss all the heavenly glory.
Deeper explanation...so you are not cheated out of your massage time, you don't miss the feeling of the massage by falling asleep and letting your therapist know if you want more or less pressure on a specific area of your body.
By the time Roxanne was done with my whole back area, sleep sound like a good idea. It didn't happen though.
Flipping over, the process started over again. I don't remember if I said "yes" to a head massage, but I did want a stomach massage. If done right, it can help clear out the food that has latched itself to your intestines.
Roxanne did the stomach massage correctly, hence the trip to the bathroom after my massage. The Thai Stretching with the deep massage Roxanne did had me feeling like an million bucks by the time she was done.
Roxanne did check on my shoulder one last time to make sure the discomfort was gone. I truly appreciate her efforts. The pain was gone for a few days.
This place was worth going to unlike the disappointment of some of the other places I visited. More on this later.
I think I will come back here should I get the chance. My wife wasn't so happy later on with what the male therapist did. He removed one pain, but caused a more sinister pain in the days that followed to my wife's back. I don't see her returning here to this guy again.
I do appreciate what Roxanne did and tipped her before leaving. We ended up being the last clients of the night, because the staff left shortly after we did.
Not a bad way to...
Read moreTreated myself yesterday on Mother's Day for a foot massage, or so I thought. On their website it was advertised for $30 for 60 minutes. Upon arrival, I was told that it was $40. They wouldn't honor the price that is advertised on their website. I suggested that they update their website. While getting a foot massage, I was in a room with two other clients also getting a foot massage. In addition, clients were waiting nearby for their own massages, you're separated from them by a very thin seen through cloth. You can see them and they can see you. The employees talk to each other while giving massages. There is absolutely NO privacy. It was not relaxing. I heard them complaining and belittling a customer about the tip she left. When I went to pay, I asked for change so I could tip 20 percent, which was ridiculously high. The employee did not want to give me change and kept pointing at my money and then back to himself. I was so disgusted that I just let him keep the money rather than argue that the experience was not worth a $20 tip. Definitely never going back. Too bad because the massage itself was really good. But the environment and attitude of staff is extremely poor. There are too many other places one can go to get a relaxing...
Read moreI went to this place in June to give my friend her first massage experience as I've been to a couple of different massage places before. By far the worst experience I've ever had. The ladies that were giving our massages were talking and laughing the whole time and during times where it felt as if they were making fun of us (even though I don't know if they were or not). My friend asked for medium pressure because it's more painful otherwise, and she said she was not relaxed at all and felt more anxious and judged. I decided I was not going to tip because they did not do a good job (which as a customer you have the choice of giving or not giving tips). But when it came time to pay, they told me the amount for the massage and I said okay and was trying to pay, and they were trying to guilt me into tipping and telling us how their workers work a lot of hours. Which I understand, and I would gladly give a tip if my experience was not what it was. And I tried giving a $10 tip, and they expected more. Honestly, terrible service, terrible experience, rude assumptions and demanding of tips. I'm honestly disgusted and will never go there or recommend anyone...
