the Price of 90 minute Massages

The massage I received was a 90 minute deep tissue massage. The spa was a full service facility with many different options. Before the massage I was given access to a Steam room, then went into a Sauna. After sitting in each for about 10 minutes, i got into a cold bath then switched to a warm bath. I switched back and forth 3 times, then took a nice shower and put on a robe to prepare for the massage. I went into the massage room and laid on a padded table. The massage began with a light rub down of the neck, back, legs, arms, hands, and feet. After this they began to give a deep, powerful full body massage. After going over my entire body, the masseuse stood on the table and grabbed onto two ropes that were strung across the roof of the room. The woman proceeded to walk all over my back and give a very thorough massage only using her feet. She again went over my entire body and worked very hard on tight areas. At the end of the massage she did another focus massage on my neck and back since they were my problem areas. After the massage I was provided with soothing tea and lots of water.

This massage was the best I had ever had. The steam room, sauna, cold/hot baths, and shower were very relaxing and relaxed my entire body in preparation for the massage. The masseuse was very helpful and asked if I had any specific areas I needed her to work on. I had recently tweaked my neck and upper back so i told her that. The full body massage was amazingly thorough and she spent extra time on my problem areas. The part I enjoyed most about the massage was when the woman held on to the ropes hanging form the roof and used her feet to give a deep tissue massage. She was able to apply much more pressure and dig deeper into my muscles by using her feet. She slid up and down my back, legs, and arms with her feet using many different styles with different parts of her feet. This technique was very intense but applied me with great relief. When I left my neck and upper back beck 10 times better. I was very pleased that she asked if I would like her to do some more work on my problem areas (neck and Upper back). She really loosened those areas up and provided me with a lot of relief for the amount of pain I was experiencing.

When attending an Asian massage parlor in Manhattan find out what techniques they use before you go there. The use of the masseuse's feet was something I never experienced before and was very enjoyable and relaxing. I asked what type of massages they had before I went in and they told me about this technique included in their Shiatsu massage. I was intrigued and really wanted to experience it. Also, find a place that offers more than just the massage. The inclusion of the steam, sauna, baths, and shower really helped me relax before the massage and I believe it made the massage much more effective (this service will cause the overall price of the massage to be more, but it is worth it).
