I have had many Thai massages and seek out a greater pressure or "hard" massage. My masseuse was…read moredisinterested in my preference and lacked enthusiasm. She could not manage a smile. She applied only mild pressure with lackadaisical indifference. For me the slight effort seemed to defeat the purpose of my visit: to relieve some of the muscular aches and pains associated with travel. She asked no follow questions afterward. My wife had a different masseuse and rated her more of a four/five. That said, I would not go back a second time.

After spending a lot of time working on my dissertation, I felt like today was the day I was going…read moreto treat myself to a massage. I searched for massages in Glasgow (I usually go to a certain person in city centre who is wonderful, but she's usually booked well in advance) and happened upon The Embody Clinic. I was able to book online which was nice and it so happened that Andrea had a cancellation so I was able to book in for a 60 minute deep tissue massage within the hour that I booked. I was very pleased. I headed to the clinic- it's situated across from the side of Glasgow Green towards Bridgeton so I left quite early not sure how long it was going to take me to get there. I walked in and was immediately greeted by the receptionist. I let her know who I was and she asked me to take a seat. She offered me some water while I waited and filled out paperwork. Andrea came out to collect me and took me back in to her room. It was quite a cozy room, small and warm. There was a bed in the center with a blanket on top. She asked me what I was looking for and we went over a few key things and she left to let me get under the blanket. I've usually go for a swedish massages but I often times leave feeling a bit underwhelmed. I'm never sure if it's because I'm so tense or the massage is crap but I usually need a bit more pressure than just basic movements over my skin. I suggested this to her so she said that she would give me a deep tissue massage instead. Whoa boy, was this one of the better massages I've had in a long time! It brought me back to when I won a massage at one of the gyms I used to go to in the states where the massage therapist really went to town on my muscles. This was exactly the same and I was really happy about that. The massage only lasted an hour but I honestly could have stayed the whole day. She had me start on my back and she worked both arms and legs on the top, then she did my shoulders and neck from the top. I flipped over and she did the same but to my backside as well as my back. I was in pure heaven. For those of you wanting a massage and would like to get in the same day, take your chance on The Embody Clinic. In particular, Andrea. She's really great and I will be back for sure!

Having grown up with a hippy mother and thus being no stranger to what is referred to as…read morealternative remedies i have been a customer of this place for a number of years now.

Got one of Dem sports massages a few years ago after caputing my shoulder via a combination of roof work and mountain bike madness. The results were nothing short of amazing. This place also does some interesting herbal and natural products ranging from lip bam to toothpaste and deodorants. It also does candles and other nice smelling type items.

I was in pain again. My darn shoulder & neck playing up and giving me gip (as my Mum would say). I…read moreknow when it gets to this stage rather than swally a load of painkillers all the time what I really need is a GOOD massage. The kind that makes you go 'Ah yeeeaaaaaaaah....' I usually go to Karada Massage in High Street but I fear they may have closed down :( I could not access their website or phone them. *sob* So I needed a back up fast. I read on this here Yelp that WH were pretty good & also a friend of mine recommended them. I was so in need of relief (steady!) I phoned & made an appointment for that day. Got one luckily no bother. Brilliant. I wasn't sure exactly what type of massage to get (as they really do so many various kinds) so I explained to the nice lady on the phone & she said I could discuss my requirements on arrival with my therapist. My therapist was Isabel and she was very nice indeed. I explained to her my pain & she asked a few (relevant) questions & then said she would cater the massage to my needs ~ this being a back, shoulder, neck & face/head massage. Lovely job. I could not wait. My massage was for an hour and it was so so good. A wee bit sore at times but it was necessary as I was really knotted up & as tense as a very tense thing (apparently). She was very thorough and she did indeed massage all parts necessary, including my face which was so nice BUT as I didn't know I was getting a facial I had on my usual make-up which by the end of the massage, of course, ended up smudged all over my face! Ha ha! Oh dear...luckily they have a wee bathroom (with lovely smelling hand soap!) you can 'fix' yourself in after or else I would've scared the people of Woodlands with my mental clown face. Again. Doh. My particular massage treatment was £40 which you might think is a bit steep but for how much it helped me & how well it was catered to my needs I thought it was fair. Their website has a handy price-list so you can check how much your treatment should be before you go and check at what days/times they are available. Isabel recommended I come again in 2 weeks time (Yes, it was THAT bad!) and I did and again it was brilliant. She suggested monthly massages to me & I am actually really up for it as I am one of these people that really needs a good massage regularly. If only I was richer! Another really good thing about WH is that they stay open late on a Wednesday (and other evenings too), until 8pm I believe. This is great if you work 9-5pm. I also like the wee shop they have in here ~ lots of vitamins & herbal treatments/goodies, food/snack things & other stuffs. I just love the smell of this place as soon as you walk in...Mmmm! Herbs!
