Baicao Wellness - 250 Alton Towers Circle unit B6

So, I came across this new spa today. Its first day is today (Feb 18). It appears to be a legit Chinese massage place. I can’t entirely read what it does but it has a bunch of stuff like the typical semi legit advertises.

But when I went in, I was ushered into a room with two beds and two of these other machines. There’s a few rooms here. I attached a picture. I asked the attendant about it and she said something along the lines of traditional Chinese medicine conditioner. Since I was there for a massage I didn’t ask anything else about it.

Massage was decent - medium strength on my upper body. When the attendant got to my legs she was surprised at how strong it was so she had to work much harder. So she adjusted the strength which was nice.

Anyways, no services especially if there are multiple beds per room. I didn’t see the other rooms. But since I am in this plaza often enough I might eventually see the rest of it.

One hour massage was $60. Tips extra but since this is a legit shop the damage will be limited.

Anyone know what these machines are?

Haha yeah. But when I peeked inside the opening there was a seat. Is it a hot sauna? Or a cold treatment machine?
