First time trying the location and it's a basic service with no frills location. Walking in through the front, you will be asked what type of service you will want. Once chosen, you will be directed to where you need to go. We both tried a 60 minutes body massage and were led to a single room with a curtain separator. I was given the massage by a female and my significant other was given one by a male. Totally thought they would have swapped and perhaps you can speak up about it before entering the room.
You won't be given any instructions on what you should be doing. You'll just be told to get ready and just lie down on the bed with your face into the hole. They want you to remove everything down to your underpants. They do not want any sports bra on according to my significant other. With only your underwear on, they will start the massage. During the massage, they will move your underwear as well to massage your butt as well. Definitely a tad more "invasive" as they also don't use a towel to cover you up during the massage. To each their own, but not what I prefer now that I've had it.
In regards to the massage, it's not exactly a Swedish deep tissue massage. The massage focuses on initially prodding your muscles to look for tenseness. Then it's more focused on hitting your pressure points to relieve tension as well as a lot of pulling and pushing down. While it doesn't sound terrible, my significant other and I thought they just kept massaging as hard as they can. During the massage process, my significant other and I had a moment when we realized that the person giving the massage got on their knees and straddled our heads between their thighs. They did to reach from the neck to your butt. This was quite awkward and to quote my significant other, she felt the person's bulge on her head when she was being massaged like that. Then when the male was massaging her from the sides, she sometimes felt the bulge on the tips of her fingers too. My significant other thought it wasn't on purpose, but not a pleasant feeling to have when being massaged.
Coming out of the massage, I left with muscle soreness from my neck to my shoulder blades and not in a pleasant way. Some of my knots around the shoulder blade were loosened up from the process, but definitely not all of them. The knots at my back and my legs were pretty much left alone. For me, about 10 minutes left of the massage, I was told to flip over and then a towel was used to cover my hip region. She didn't do any frontal chest regions, but did the forearms and arms and legs. What I didn't like was they put a towel over your head during this part to cover you up. Being Asian, that signifies to me a departed person on a death bed so I didn't prefer that aspect at all.
Another thing was that during the whole massage, the person doing the massage left the room six times to do something/check something. Hard to say what she was doing, but not a fully dedicated service during the massage. After the massage, you are given a small dixie cup of water and then asked to pay. To be noted, the rooms aren't very private and sound travels. You can speak to the room next door if you wanted to as well.
All in all, I find it a hard pass for me. It's definitely a preference to have this type of a massage treatment and I can definitely say it's not my preference. I don't think I want a massage like that again since my muscles took some bengay and salonpas to recover and I had a hard time sleeping with my neck like that for the next two nights. Up to you if you want to give it a try, but be warned the massage is pretty invasive and uncomfortable at times. read more
