I went to No. 1 Spa a couple of months ago. My back was tight from weekend warrior activities and thought a decent massage might help. I was a walk in. I started of with a young Asian lady (Sorry no name). She started the massage but it was very light. I asked for a bit deeper and she offered me a 4 hand with another lady that did deep tissue. I accepted and out she goes. After about 5 minutes an older Asian lady comes in with the young one in tow. For the next 20 minutes my 4 hand massage was really a 2 elbow torture. The young one sat back while the executioner literally tried to drive her bony elbows through my body.
I can usually handle a fair amount of pressure to work out the knots but this was stupid. My body was rigid from the pain and I was yelling out. She kept saying a bit longer and it will be good. I'm not sure she studied massage but perhaps learned by watching YouTube. Finally the torture subsided and I was ready to get to my 4 hand massage to finish up.
That's when the older lady left the room and I was alone with the younger to finish things up. All told, it was a frustrating, disappointing and expensive experience. I will not be returning.
