So I'm getting old and tired and I work in social work. I'm looking for a cheap(er) place to go for regular stress relief and to address the nerve pain I've been having in my neck, most likely from hunching over paperwork and suppressing my rage towards some of my co-workers.
This was my first time at Massage Envy, I booked the hot stone massage. I had gotten one before and it was awesome. I was excited. My masseuse was a lovely woman but I was very unimpressed...I'm a bit of a masochist when it comes to getting rubbed down. I want a woman with slow hands and a not so easy touch.
Basically, I want it slow and I want it hard.
Maybe I should have been more specific when filling out my paperwork, but I felt as if I was getting a massage from an apathetic boyfriend in a hurry. The hot oils were nice, but all she did was simply run the stones over me, way too quickly. There was no attention paid to pressure points, there was barely any pressure at all. I was pretty specific about the neck pain and there was no extra attention paid to it whatsoever. I've gotten more relief at the salon when getting my hair washed (*cough* Bobby at Moments is awesome).
Not worth the $78 plus gratuity. Maybe I'll try again with a different masseuse, the regular membership prices are pretty tempting.
