| - I decided to book a massage here because of the glowing reviews I'd read. I have massage therapy regularly and like to try out new places.
It was fairly easy to book a massage. I left a message and my call was returned in under an hour. The person I spoke to on the phone said they would send me a confirmation email which would include an online health history form, but they never sent it.
The clinic is located above a restaurant. It's a small space, looks like a converted apartment, with 3 small rooms at the front and an office/waiting room/sink area in the middle. It's very nicely decorated and clean. They had a lot of scented candles everywhere which could be a concern for sensitive people, but I thought it smelled nice. Maybe they have to cover up the food smells from the restaurant? ( I didn't smell any food!)
I told the therapist sitting at the desk who I was and that I needed to fill out a form. He told me the form would just be a minute, to have a seat and offered me water. I felt kind of awkward sitting there waiting while therapists were going back and forth, wondering when someone would give me a form to fill out and trying to figure out which one was my therapist..
My therapist registered me. I don't know her name because she didn't introduce herself. They have an online filing system, so I had to sit at their computer and fill in my health history form.
My therapist listened attentively to my complaints and did a thorough assessment. We agreed to do a full body massage with focus to my problem areas.
The massage was competent and although it did not fix my problem completely, I did feel some improvement the next day. Unfortunately, I found it very difficult to relax. For one thing the place was absolutely FREEZING cold, and I'm a middle aged woman who gets hot flashes! There was no blanket on the table, only a sheet. I told the therapist that I would need a blanket as I was quite chilly. She got me a blanket but didn't turn down the AC, which was blowing down on me from a vent in the ceiling.
The therapist was very knowledgeable and I have no complaints about her techniques. She just seemed somewhat distant. She didn't massage my feet or hands or head, which I'm used to having done during a full body treatment. She only massaged my gluts and front of my legs through the blanket. It was effective, but made me wonder why. After the treatment, she asked how I was feeling and told me the price. I paid and that was it. I was surprised she didn't follow up more, or give some stretches to do. It just felt very abrupt.
I think this place would be good for athletic types with specific injuries, as they obviously know what they're doing, but it wasn't really my cup of tea.
After tax, a one hour massage cost $93.
