Great location, friendly service, and excellent reflexology!
The address will send you on a wild goose chase!! The storefront is actually on Thockmorton. Definitely call ahead and ask if they can take you.
If you're used to a private, swedish massage, this is completely different, so let's go ahead and set some expectations:
Expect to be in a room with other people, and in this case, the massage room is open to the front door/reception desk - it will not necessarily be quiet.
Expect strong, punchy/quick push motions, as opposed to long strokes.
Expect your technician to use elbows (i.e. deep, pointed pressure) on your back, butt, and legs - this may cause bruising/soreness.
Expect to have your butt, ear, and even your nose massaged.
Expect to keep all of your clothing on, so dress appropriately (I usually wear cotton capris and a long-cut fitted t-shirt)
For some of these things, you can go somewhere else to get a better experience, but for others, you may just not enjoy this type of massage. I generally go to a reflexology spot when I find I'm sore, and I always find it rejuvenating.
If you get a massage that includes a foot massage portion, 10 minutes of the time will be your feet soaking in water. This time may be used to massage your shoulders, arms, and scalp.
I like that you can be laying completely down during your foot massage. The chairs are comfortable and they always cover me with towels and cover my eyes so although it's not a 100% relaxing atmosphere, I'm really comfortable.
The only thing I don't like about this particular location is that they are near a lot of bars. So when the door opens, you can hear a lot of the bar noise and sometimes you can even hear the music when the doors are closed. Worse, though, is when some of the happy bar-goers decide to drop in wanting a massage and are both loud and disruptive to the guests as well as being rude to the staff. This is all out of the control of the business owners, but it's worth mentioning. Also, parking can be difficult in this area. Both of these are trade-offs given its a 5-minute drive from where I live.
I'll be back here again, and would definitely recommend this place to someone looking for a reflexology experience. read more
