I have just had my first and proper evah massage.
It was fucking ace.

I would recommend it to anyone.

Did you get a happy ending?

Hahaha
I've always wanted a proper massage, happy ending or not. They're not cheap, though!

I went to a physio
and they properly massage you and then crack your bones and it's £40 a session, for about half an hour or so I guess.

Which isn't cheap, but it's not outrageous if you want to treat yourself.

£6 for a half hour starter session and then around double that afterwards.
Not too bad methinks.

Bargain!
I saw a physio for a problem with my ankle. The first time she worked on it and manipulated my for for half an hour - I walked out of the hospital feeling like I had a new leg. It was fucking amazing.

Edit: Odd coincidence - Happy Ending by Mika has just come on random on iTunes. I fucking love this song. Maybe I am gay after all :)

That's a good price!
It costs around $85 for a 3/4 hour session most places around here.

Well she seems to know what's she's doing.
She does different types of massage as well but I just wanted to concentrate around my neck and shoulders as I have stiffness there which causes headaches plus just generally pummel the stress out of me.

I'm going again next week : )

Sod me
that's an absolute bargain, and I'm sure you deserve a treat :)

Maybe I've got it wrong on the full price but the starter session was definitley £6.
Still worth it if I have to pay £20.

Cool!
I usually go to the spa a couple times a year - always get a facial and occassionally I'll have a massage.

have you tried...
shiatsu? it's done wonders for my back. there's a bit of eastern mystic mumbo-jumbo underlying the way they do it, but the massage itself is excellent.

My ex wife
Was very good with the massage technique.

Since we split up I've had knots like coalsacks in my shoulders and neck but I've always been a bit reluctant to pay for a massage just in case a happy ending should be offered.

You can always say thanks but no thanks.
Or yes.

More research is required on my part
There must be some delineation between genuine massage persons and knocking shops.

How do you tell the difference?
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Thu 20 Aug 2009, 19:42, Reply)

I went to the local sports centre and found out about someone who does them there.
Maybe your local centre does the same.
( girlinthehole, Thu 20 Aug 2009, 19:44, Reply)

I'll try that, thanks
I could really do with a good ironing at the moment.

Get them out of the yellow pages
rather than out the back of the Sun or Metro? Beauticians, wellbeing places, spas, sports physio etc don't offer extras...
(berk, Thu 20 Aug 2009, 19:46, Reply)

There is a massage parlour over the road from my house.
I think it only offered happy endings though.
We do have a large number of knocking shops here, I've never really noticed them in other towns before but there are two less than a 5 minute walk from my house and that;s not even the red light district.
