| - Went here recently for a couples massage for myself and my boyfriend. My parents also went here for their own couples massage on the same day.
It was the first time my boyfriend had ever had a professional massage done, so he was pretty anxious about it. They were very professional and nice in spite of us arriving 5 minutes late. They asked about concerns we had and areas we wanted them to focus on, areas to avoid (I had a recent piercing to my left ear and didn't want any lotion near it) and did exactly that. I had a lot of tension/stress in my back, and Caitlyn (sp?) was very helpful - I think she probably spent about 10-15 minutes on each half of my back as I requested, as Ive been tight for a very very long time. My back feels so loose and relaxed. I haven't felt this way in a long time. I overheard my boyfriend breathing very deeply, so I think he was able to relax after all. And he has felt good afterward too.
I only have 2 concerns/upsets. First, the massage therapist who was working on my boyfriend did not phrase it very kindly when she asked him about a whether a rash on his leg was contagious or not. She could have asked it in a less callous/insensitive manner. She cut him off when he was explaining that he was seeing a dermatologist for a heat rash and it was getting better, to say, "No - I mean is it contagious?!" It wasn't a big deal to him, but I just imagine someone with eczema or something else non-contagious feeling very unwelcome. Second, my dad also got a couples massage with my mom on the same day and since then, he has been complaining of difficulty turning his neck from side-to-side after they pressed his neck. Not sure what that is about yet.
In short, I'm satisfied with my experience and would like to go again, however, I do not belief my dad and my boyfriend had as great experiences.
