| - When driving on Mcleod Trail, near Southland Crossing, I noticed a sign that said Massage Heights was offering massage for $60 an hour. Anyone who has received a professional massage before knows they usually cost around $80 at least.
I called on a Friday, and was able to make a booking for Sunday.
I get to the place 10 minutes early to fill out the requisite forms, and the owner starts asking me about my massage habits, as well as if I get them covered by benefits. She goes on to tell me why her place is superior to other places and tells me she'll talk to me more about it when I am done.
I had Jeanine for my massage. She asked me a few questions before we got started, as per usual, and a few minutes later started my massage. She didn't talk too much, which was great, but did answer any questions I had. She used a very different technique that I had never come across, that included asking to participate actively with a few small movements while she massaged me, and that helped get deeper into the muscles. I felt some slight pain, due to her pinpointing areas I need to sstretch more, but that's what i had wanted/asked for.. A great bonus was when I told her I get cold, and to pardon my freezing feet, she offered to put the table heater on. It was so great, as this helps your muscles relax. All in all, it was one of the best massages I've had and Jeanine was a great therapist.
I get out and the owner then tried to finagle me into buying a memebership for 3-6 months to start, and puts on the pressure tactics. i told her I had to see how much was available on my benefits package for this year. She then told me I would have to call her by Thursday. If not, when I booked another massage I'd have to pay $120 - which is their regular price. I didn't like the way I felt pressured by her. She told me I could just give them the banking info and the massage charges wouldn't be debited until the following month.
Anyways, the following day they called and followed up with me, but only to see how I felt, which was a nice touch.
I gave this place a 3 because of the pressure sales tactics (the owner was nice btw), and the huge increase in price if you don't buy a membership, and I give the place itself a 4 for the way it looks; cleanliness, esthetics, etc. I give the therapist Janine a 5, because she was excellent.
Needless to say, if you are in a position to buy a membership, this place is great.
