I came in today with a shoulder that had been killing me for days, and I honestly can't believe how…read moremuch better I feel. What blew me away was that I didn't even have to point out where it hurt. She started working and knew exactly where the tension was held without me saying a word. It was like she had a GPS for muscle knots! The technique was firm but intuitive--she found spots I didn't even realize were contributing to the pain. I walked out feeling ten pounds lighter and finally have my range of motion back. If you're looking for someone who truly understands body mechanics and doesn't just go through the motions, this is the place. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with chronic pain or stubborn knots!

Amazing massage from Poo, she was very nice and knowledgeable about massaging and body injury and…read morespend a lot of time on a leg i had injured before. She also could realize quickly if the pressure was too much. I arrived an hour earlier and the staff in front sort of panicked about it and asked me if i have pid online before however this option was not available and when I said i only have card from U.S. they said they don't accept that. Again this was not provided online either which given the touristy vibe this place has (foreign customers, english spoken and written communication) i found strange. What made my experience unpleasant however was 1- they would not tell me where exactly atm is and would just point at somewhere on a street one block over. Imagine having ti keep asking what's the name of the place several times while trying not to disturb the "relaxing" environment of the place. I left to the place she pointed at which was a restaurant and they had no idea what i'm talking about. Not to mention it was night (~8pm) and freezing cold. I had to leave my belongings inside the massage place because they were pretty heavy and while waiting in the crowded restaurant and bring in the way of employees and people i was worried about losing my personal items. At the end when i got back we made a deal : i had 40 euros and an hour massage was 50 euros. They offered to give me 40mins massage (which is unfair i was short €10, why not give massage for 50 minutes instead?) i think they saw how desperate i was after waiting and hustling around the streets for an atm and offered the lowest they could. And the end the most unpleasant experience was the male masseuse who while giving a massage would creepily peeked from the edge of the certain and check me out. I could tell he just was thinking i'm going to steal a product from them. Again Pooh massage and customer service was staler and if it was just her I would give her a 5, but the other employees were really off and made the experience extremely stressful for me. In response to the owner's message: they said we only accept local card : my card does have a chip but they did not even bother to check. The employee said there is an atm and did not tell me where exactly. This caused me a lot of trouble. I did not day anything about the closing time or complained about it. The fact that your respond mentions it and talks about it in length suggests you only responded to pretend you care about the customer feedback and not really care what the feedback is about hence I'm goi g to review this place with even a lower rate.

My sisters and I went to this place to get a foot massage. The owner did not speak English which…read morewas fine, however he initially said 5 euro a foot. We were happy to pay that so we sat down. After he rubbed two spots on my ankle for literally 5 minutes he said 50 euros for each foot. We had trouble discussing the unfair exchange of 50 euros for the time he spent on a foot. After not understanding for several minutes he motioned for us to leave and we happily agreed. I wouldn't recommend coming to this place without speaking the language or having a translator.

He performs Tui Na in a manner that more closely seems to be myofascial release therapy, albeit rough.

I don't understand the issues people have communicating. He understands both Dutch and English on a limited basis but if you try to sign a bit he will reciprocate.

Sento is a fantastic gym. The main downfall is that it's really pricey, but it's the high price…read morethat also keeps the volume low, so you can't have it all. The gym is on the second floor. The exercise area is pretty small but has all the essentials and some nice extras including an assisted pull up machine and heavy bag. On the third floor there's a sauna, jacuzzi, water massage table (amazing) and even two swings to relax on. They also provide free bath salts to scrub your feet, and also tea and water. This area is probably what sold me on the gym. One more level up there's a roof top deck with lounge chairs, which I haven't had a chance to enjoy since it's winter, but that must be fantastic. The facilities are impeccably maintained and the staff is very nice. Many of them are also trainers, and are willing to help you out during your workout. They initially start you off with a free session to set goals and create a schedule and then it's up to you if you want to get more training or just more casually get help here and there. Oh and I forgot to mention there is a huge pool on the ground level. Probably the best in the area. Just check the schedule bc there are days for kids (hoards screaming lil ones come and jump on huge inflatable slides) and then there are other days for nude swimming (whatever floats your boat...). Of course they have "normal" swimming times too. The only thing I wish is that the group classes were included but that's a separate fee and group called Club Marnix I think. Anyway, I do enjoy the serenity of the gym at night, so while I encourage you to visit, I also secretly don't want it to get crowded ;).

It's a clean and simple set up, with tables separated by heavy curtains in a long room. Don't expect a spa.

I call ahead of time and make an appointment. You can walk in but you may have to wait. It can get busy at times. I always leave in a euphoric state, stumbling onto my bike with a grin. It's always a consideration when I have some extra coin in my hands.

HORRIBLE - caps intentional. Negative 5 stars…read more Went here, based on the previous 4-star review, for acupuncture and left worse than I went in. A horrible butcher's den is what this joint is. I've had many sessions of acupuncture before and this place is absolutely horrendous. I asked for acupuncture and what they offer is massage with free acupuncture. I ignored the "free" red flag and figured the combination might be nice. As I lay in my undies, face down, someone swiped what I presume is alcohol on my neck and lower back. "Good," I thought, "cleanliness." Next thing I know a woman is sticking what felt like sewing needles in my neck and yelling every time, "AAAAHHHH! DOET PIJN! AAAAAAHHHH" Well, guess what: it did hurt like hell so I said "It hurts!" at which point she screamed louder to drown out my voice: "AAAAAHHHH!!!! OMA [turns out that's her name] DOET MISHANDELING!!!! AAAAAAHHHH!!!!!" The needles hurt even more when I talked, telling her to stop because it was hurting. She screamed louder and louder. I felt a liquid substance run down my neck but couldn't move my arms to check whether it was blood. Eventually I just lied there because it was the least painful thing to do, and prayed to God that nothing horrible would come of this. The torture went on but you get the gist of it. Never a-[expletive]-gain. Several parts of my body hurt as I write this and in one spot where a needle was it feels like I had a mean shot.
