TianLu Massage — Local services in Riverside

Id give zero stars if I could!!! I bought my wife and i a deep tissue 60 minute massage with aromatherapy and foot scrub couples package for $90 off of Groupon. I made my appointment on Thursday for Friday the next day 3pm. First the owner calls me at 1:30 to ask me if we could come in earlier, we couldn't because we were at the doctor. That's why I made the appointment at 3 in the beginning. The Owner did my massage and she was so sloppy and unprofessional. I kept telling her where to massage, my low back because I suffer from sciatic nerve issues so that's why I get massages. Well she kept forgetting and moving to my upper back because she kept taking phone calls and booking more appointments all while trying to massage me with one hand. She answered 4 separate 3 minute calls in the span of 60 mins i paid for a massage. Then telling the customer who called in don't book thru Groupon, just pay her the money. I was so appalled. She so was loud on the phone so wife could even relax and get into her massage. Over use of oil but no massage technique. Barely rubbed my feet. I was in more pain when i got off of the table. Never again! Then chased me outside for a tip. I asked her was she serious?...

Not a good place to go if you're looking for an actual massage. If you want soft touching and friendly conversation, this place might be okay. But as far as an actual muscle massage goes, it just doesn't hold up. I came with shoulder and neck pain specifically let the masseuse know this, and she spent only maybe 5-6 min out of the 1-hour session on my shoulders. By the time I left I pretty much felt the same amount of pain on my shoulders as I did before, and the overall muscle tightness pretty much felt the same. When I go get a massage in other places, I at least feel relief for a few days.

Also, the amount of oil used was quite a bit excessive. I've been to several massage places before and it's never been this much. After what I consider to be one of the worst massages I've ever had, they have the audacity to ask for a minimum of $10 tip. I would be happy to tip if the massage had actually been decent quality, but it was not.

Definitely not coming back...

really just a disappointment. I got this thru Groupon and trust me there are better options. They did not do a consultation prior to the massage. This led to my knee being moved in a way that caused a lot of pain. I also have a floating broken collar bone that when my arm was twisted back was enough to have me crying. No worries though no one will notice because the face holes in the table are so small you can barely breathe. I left with severe lower back pain and my knees aching. I wrote a review on Groupon that was just meh. But did list obvious flaws in their business model. They claimed I was rude and didn't tip. That's the only thing they are right about. I didn't tip because my husband had to almost lift me off the table due to extreme back pain and I limped out because my knees hurt so bad. I think the only happy customers are getting extra benefits because it looks like it belongs on an...
