| - I spontaneously made an appointment at Authentic Thai Massage one evening after work last week... My body was hurting from workouts and stress, and I was craving a Thai Massage to get stretch out and relax. I've had Thai Massage before, so I knew what to expect...
The person I spoke with on the phone was super nice and when I arrived, I received a bottle of water while I filled out my paperwork. I did a 90 minute combo Thai massage including hot stone, which I was on the fence about, but they sold me on it.
I used the restroom and was shown my room where they had a tank top and shorts waiting for me. Once changed, my therapist, "Rose," came in, soaked my feet, dried them off, and got to work on my sore body...
She was pretty rough - no easing into the tightness at all. Pressure was fine, but she could have eased in a bit. There was no warning before the hot stone part and I jumped from the heat as it hit my back... once it cooled off a bit and my body was more prepared, it was ok. Rose also used a hot towel after the did the traditional part of the massage. Unfortunately, the hot towel went from hot to cold super quickly, which was not so relaxing on my body either...
Needless to say, this was not the best massage I've ever received (and as mentioned above, I do get Thai Massages at other places in AZ and in my travels). This place is ok and from the other reviews, it looks like my three star review is an outlier. The facility is clean and the ladies that work here are nice, but the massage I had from Rose was enough for me to take my time / money elsewhere next time.
