| - I was referred to this practice by my Chiropractor, Dr. Beau @ Chiropractique in San Diego. He recommended I come here for a therapeutic massage to continue my treatment/care given I would be away from home and unable to see him from Tues - Fri of this week. I was in a car accident on 9/4 and given the nature of the accident (rear end --- that I watched happen in the rear view mirror!!), my neck, back and shoulders are a mess!!
It sits in a strip mall near the corner of Fort Apache and W. Flamingo and is set a little bit back from the front of the strip mall so you need to look a little bit to find it. Parking is no issue, there is plenty around.
I made my appointment with LaTrice yesterday and got in for a 4pm appointment today. She was professional and helpful in getting me scheduled for the right service. +1
Lindsay was my masseuse and whhooooa! I don't think I've ever had a massage like that. Given the state of my condition, the massage was thorough and effective. Was it relaxing, ...no... But I gotta tell you what... its a shame she's not in San Diego where we live! I was in there for therapy on my condition and that is what I got. I was actually trying to think of how I felt afterward. Some massages you feel 'relaxed'...this was more like 'relief'...like she mashed all the knots out of my back, shoulders and neck...it was tough work getting there, but I would say 'relief' is definitely the ticket. +2
I have NEVER had a massage on a heated table. The table was heated, the neck roll was heated, the blanket covering was warm and scented...it was truly a bilssful experience. I don't have a giant list of things that peeve me but I HATE being cold during a massage...so this was so wonderful!! +2
I also have never had a full body massage include such lengthy hand and foot treatment...most full body massages I have, the practitioners must forget the hands and feet are attached to 'the body'...helllloooo! +2
From her observation of the condition of my muscles, she recommended and applied 'cupping' on my back in those knotted areas.. That is definitely a different sensation. The goal is to bring blood flow to the muscles to free them from their knotted state. I would get that again...I could feel the difference and so could she... +2
The aromatherapy was light, non-intrusive and perfect. The room temperature was wonderful. The music was wonderful. And the low lighting was perfect too. +2
Lindsay is caring, knowledgeable about her trade and whenever I am in town again, I will definitely schedule my massage with her, then go hop in the hot tub at the time share to continue my relaxation! +2
I know i can only give 5 stars, but there were so many things that gave this place +++, I had to rack up the points in the review!
So -- while having to go get treatment when I could have been having fun in Vegas --- I can say that at least I was in good hands with the professionals at Serenity Spinal.
Misc:
You may have paperwork to fill out ahead of time, so arrive earlier than your appointment
Looks like a family place with people of all ages, but not so crazy like a children's playground at McDonalds
The adjusting area looks to be totally open
They accept walk ins.
This is not a SPA, so if you're looking for spa massage, you can travel to the strip and pay $255...I paid less than 1/3 of that!
