Let me start off by saying this was my first massage experience and I was super nervous to go, but felt totally happy I did after the fact.
For years I have suffered from back pain and leg pain some from old sports injuries and some from being overweight and though I've always wanted to get a massage I've always been hesitant because first I'm overweight and always thought man there gonna run when they see me and then the obvious I worry people will think I'm some creeper trying to get someone to use me like I'm an arcade machine. (You get it)
I've passed numerous massage places and have been so close, but today my lower back was killing me and I said forget it, let's just do it. I found the place closest to where I was as the time (I did pass a place that looked very shady so I kept going) and I just ripped off the bandaid and just made myself go in.
Easy parking middle afternoon, small little place in a small shopping strip. Ok now Point of no return... I'm inside. The lighting was darker, obviously to give the slumber relaxing mood. There's a front desk and I was greeted right away. I asked what it cost for a massage. Not sure if there's a lingo for this, hey I'm a rookie. Haha. It was $40 for 1 hour and I think $60 for 90 minutes I got the 1hr mainly cause I was still a little bit nervous. Anyways they take you back to a room and tell you that your supposed to get completely undressed and lay down but I don't know who was there before me and all that, so I was like can I keep the boxers, no problem you can keep the undies, on your choice. Or maybe they were saving themselves from all of this and no undies... haha either way I was more comfortable with them on. the massage was everything I've been missing that I always knew I wanted but I was to chicken to get out of my own way. It was a little rough at times but my back needed it. She used her arms and hands, climbed up on the table at times, and she used hot oils and stones, and even a hot towel, it was awesome, an hour never went by so quick in my life, I almost was like wait take all my money keep going till tomorrow. But I didn't. It was super hard, but I was like hey rookie, pull it together, next time you can get 90 minutes...
Anyways, I did get over my fear and know I will be back. Thank you Anna you have a gift and I was truly thankful for the service you provided. Man I couldn't last 10 minutes in her shoes. Glad I get to be on the table instead.
I didn't review this place until afterwards, but I just want to say, I saw a few people who didn't have a optimal experience or even one who had a crazy experience. All I can say is, there was no funny business going on when I was there, and I am truly happy to have chosen them as my first massage. I will be back... often.. maybe later today... it could happen... read more
