    Regarding Who Needs This Place:…read more I have 3 trigger points that are impossible to get other places to hit effectively. Levator, Piriformis, and Lateral Gastrocnemius. All on the right side. This is the ONLY place I've found that was willing to work these. Regarding Some Culture Shock: This is NOT a place for everyone! The culture difference is a bit jarring when it comes to tipping but they are advertising lower prices that seem under the market from my experience. Getting past that made the rest is worth it. Because they were also willing to work on spots other places culturally struggled with. Regard Deep Trigger Points: If you've got some DEEP trigger points and need SINGLE HEAL WITH FULL BODY WEIGHT driven sharply into a single spot to get the trigger point loose then THIS is your place! Tina walked on me for 2 hours. She dug heals into those really hard to hit places that nobody else is even willing to try. Again cultural difference. I've not had a massage this good in DECADES! The funny parts was that she was NOT shy about asking for a larger tip but here is the thing... I've spent more on massages that were nowhere near this effective at breaking a trigger point. So I think these folks are undercharging and I didn't mind paying what I consider "over the top" (based on percentage) for a gratuity. If you go in planning to pay more than they advertise it feels safe to also push them to REALLY dig into those spots that you really need worked! So it was a fare trade IMO. Regarding the Procedure: They cover you in a thin blanket and walk on you (no oils - but seemed like it might be option). There are some roof mounted hand rails for them to keep balanced. Tina complained about how hard it was to work on me (this would probably turn some people away but I think it's a cultural thing - considered unprofessional by American Expectations so it's awkward). She said nobody has ever asked for heals in the calves or glutes before and she pushed for higher gratuity based on how hard she had to work. Here is the catch. I've seen this before but the massage was NEVER this good so I didn't like it. This time? The massage was UNBELIEVABLE. She can complain all she wants at that point. Apparently I'm the only customer they have had that asked for this kind of deep trigger point work. She said most only let them work those spots by by hand, never full body weight with heals. Regardless I'm coming back. Will add this to my monthly routine (Been getting my hair cut at Sunny Day right across the parking lot for the last 20 years). The cultural gratuity weirdness (in this very rare case) was totally worth it.

    I came with a friend who had recommended this place and at the end of the night, she ended up…read moreapologizing due to the experience we had. We did the 90 min which was 100$ but was charged an extra 5$ for using a card. During our massage, our massage therapists chatted and giggled a good amount of our time which was a disappointment as we came in expecting to relax. Towards the half point of our massage, we were freezing after they wiped us down with a towel but didn't dry us off and the AC was on. I was at a point where I felt myself shivering. They supposedly turned the AC off but it did not help. After our massage, we met our massage therapists at the front counter. My friend and I decided to leave a $15 tip each even after our experience. The lady thought we said 50$ and I corrected her and told her 15$ and she seemed offended and stated we should tip more and we should tip 30$ each. I found it ridiculous that we were bargaining over how much we should tip. We settled with 25$ each after feeling pressured and it was already late in the night. At the point we just wanted to get out of there. I enjoy getting massages regularly but I have never been asked to tip more. Due to the over all experience, I personally won't be returning.
