Massage Envy
I'd give you the name of my favorite massage therapist, but then I'd have to kill you.
Back when I had a big paying job, I used to go to the Camelback Spa as often as I could. It's luxurious with awesome amenities in a gorgeous setting. Well, Massage Envy is NOT that. However, for those of us who are more money conscious, Massage Envy offers a wonderful experience.
Massage Envy is located in a strip shopping mall. When you walk in, it's a pleasant environment and friendly check-in staff. After you sign in, you wait in comfy chairs until your masseuse calls you back. Each therapist has a copy of your chart showing your preferences and past experiences. They'll also ask you if you have any problem areas that need special attention. Then they'll step out of the room while you get ready for your treatment.
Most of the masseuses will ask you about the pressure and your comfort. The massage table also has a built in heater, should you become cold. The lighting is soft and the music soothing.
All in all, this is a pretty awesome experience for $49 a month for your first massage and then $39 for any other massages you receive during that same month. They also have a family discount plan. If you need to use a different location, even out of state, your membership allows you to use the services of more than 600 Massage Envy locations nationwide.
