I had what was supposed to be a RMT massage at Core Wellness and it was the worst massage I've ever had and one of the most terrible experiences.
I was not properly draped (only a small towel that covered 1/3 of my body), the therapist used a machine on my back straight away that hurt and when I protested, she ignored me. It was, quite simply, not a massage. She spent a lot of time tickling instead of massaging, she put on latex gloves to massage my feet and when I asked for more covers because I was cold, she ignored me. I asked again, and she grudgingly obliged, only to have the 2nd towel fall and she never retrieved it.
The therapist was 15 minutes late starting my appointment but finished on time. The experience wasn't relaxing or tranquil; I could hear clearly the radio blaring from the other room and the therapist was obviously untrained and putting in as little effort as possible.
It's been the only experience I've had where I was ready to get up and walk out on the massage. I've had joint and musculature issues so I've had lots of massage therapy and I can't believe that the therapist who massaged me had any certification. They are passing this off as legitimate, but it isn't. I felt scammed.
