WORST MASSAGE EVER!! I asked for a full body massage. What I actually got was bizarre and left me walking out angry. Who walks out of a massage angry? I don't mean to be long-winded, but I must share....
I've been getting massages for probably 2 decades. I'm used to different styles and types. What this woman did defies description. (I don't know if maybe she's the owner's wife?) (A guess on my part) I laid face down for my FULL BODY massage and she starts on my hand. She does this hard shiatsu type pressure point squeezing repeatedly between my thumb and first finger. She kept poking and squeezing the same spot over and over and over and over. I'm thinking WTH? Then she switched to my middle finger and kept squeezing/pulling it really hard, over and over and over...I told myself when she switched to the other hand, I was going to keep count. She does a couple of cursory squeezes on the my hand, then switched to the other.
Bear in mind she's been squeezing/poking so hard I almost can't take it. On this hand she does the poking between my thumb and forefinger FIFTY TWO TIMES! Do you know what it's like to have someone poke the same spot over and over 52 times in a row. She squeezed/pulled my middle finger 42 times. She finally finished with my hands, which seemed to take up about 20 minutes(!) and started on my back. At this point I would have stopped, but this was so bad, so painful, so odd, I had to see where this was going.
She barely spent any time on my back, but what she did was basically keep digging into my back with her elbow, leaning in really hard. I'm used to that happening as they tenderize you before doing some long, gliding strokes. Nope. She went from elbows to hot stones...then went back to massaging my hands.
I'm guessing we're about 30 minutes in and my full body massage has basically consisted of an incredible hard hand massage.
Two other highlights: She gave me a "face massage" that consisted of her pinching my nostrils together and rubbing them together. I'm used to having the bridge of my nose/nasal cavity massaged. I don't know what she was doing. After about 30 seconds of this I gasped because I couldn't breath, She asked if I was okay and I said I couldn't breath. She stopped.
The other highlight, she was digging her elbow into my calf, repeatedly leaning into the exact same spot over and over as she started really leaning into it using her whole body so hard I had to tell her to stop, it was too hard. (As I write this I had a sore knot in my calf from her doing that. I'm waiting to see if it bruises up.) She didn't even bother with the other calf.)
I don't know if her specialty is foot and hand massage and she really focuses on that, or she is just inept, but other than one other time, this was by far the most painful, aggravating massage I have ever had.
Yeah, I could have stopped her, but it truly was so bizarrely, comically rough and repetitive, I just had to see how truly bad it was going to get. Now I know, lol. I used to go to Yang's for years under the old ownership. I had one other massage under this "new" ownership and it was just meh. This time...brutal. This new ownership....yikes. Nothing like wasting $65 to get beat up and walk out angry. At least I know to never go back there ever again.
