OK, it has been nearly 2 years since my first review and I have had the opportunity to return several times, and under different pairs of hands. I'm sticking with my 5-star rating, because although i would like more amenities, Dragon Massage Spa does do the best with what is available. Here are 3 more technicians of note:
Lili - Her delicate name belies her physical strength. I was having a particularly bad day with my neck and back issues, so i booked a 90-min. Lili worked and worked with her hands and elbows. Finally, she had me sit on the end of the table, reach back so we could clasp wrists, allowing her the leverage to stretch my back with her feet. No chiropractor has ever given me a release like that! And that was after expert manipulation of my fingers and toes.
Vicki - on the subject of feet. I was needing a little adjustment mid-week. Seeing that Vicki was so tiny, I did not expect much pressure. Surprise! I never noticed the handrails on the ceiling before. It's been a couple of decades since I've been treadled by a professional. That got my back, shoulders and upper thighs loosened quickly and thoroughly. Then she had plenty of time to work on a kink I had on the front. With a bit of tinkering, she had it unlocked and the rest was smooth sailing.
Finally, Yu-yu (please forgive me if I likely spelled it wrong) - Late morning and I was able to get in with only 10-min notice. Hadn't planned my day for a massage, but on the road early and thinking about it for hours had me filling with anticipation. My neck is always an issue and Yu-yu did very well relaxing those muscles. From there she was excellent at maneuvering from area to area. I really appreciated how her touch became light, partly as a signal that we would be moving on to the front. It only took a little more strength work and the built up stress of the day had been thoroughly expelled. Hot towels and fingertip pressure on my scalp and temples had me struggling not to doze off. Would that be rude or complimentary?
It took me 3 years to find the right barber when we moved here. I don't know if I can commit to just one masseuse with so much talent on hand. read more
