Everyone gets stressed out around this time of the year. All the potlucks, parties, shopping, gift wrapping, traffic, Zumba, and holiday hustle takes a toll on my body. My tension likes to park itself in my upper and lower back, rhomboids, and neck. I normally just live with it but this year I treated myself to the most wonderful massage EVER.
For $40, I got one super long hour of the best deep tissue massage.
This is not your fu-fu massage. There is no iced tea, no bathrobes, no water falling, and no new-age music playing. There might even be someone getting their hair done in the surrounding salon, so it may not even be quiet, but I don't care about those kinds of things and neither does my back.
Don really knows how to find my "problem" areas and works all the knots out. The bonus at the end is that really deep football players' stretch for my lower back.
LOCATION: NZ Salon on the corner of 8th and Waialae in Kaimuki by appointment only.
PARKING: a few metered 1hr stalls outside, or street parking on 8th Ave.
I used cash. I think he takes checks.
PURE AWESOMENESS. I feel so much better. read more
