Columbia Heights Massage

This experience was abysmal. Simply the worst. Finding my usual spot too crowded, I stumbled upon this place with just one glowing review. I decided to give it a shot. Regrettably, it was a dismal session. The therapist predominantly used elbows and focused solely on my legs, neglecting to provide proper coverage. Despite mentioning the excessive heat under the thick blanket, my request for a change went unheeded. The pressure was consistently applied to the same area, despite my discomfort, resulting in bruising. As someone who receives massages twice a month, including deep tissue, I am accustomed to post-massage soreness, but this was beyond that. I have serious doubts about their licensing.

I was informed that the 30-minute massage would cost $50, yet the session only lasted 20 minutes and was solely focused on my neck. When I raised this concern, the therapist retreated to the room and did not return.

For the past fortnight, my left shoulder and neck have been throbbing with pain, so I decided to visit this establishment conveniently located on my route home from the bus stop. Upon entering without an appointment, I was greeted by Amy who promptly ushered me in and inquired about my specific needs. While I typically opt for a light massage for relaxation, this time I knew I required something more intense. The deep tissue massage with hot stones that followed was truly one of the most exceptional massages I have ever experienced. The pricing was also quite reasonable. I will certainly be returning. Thank you for alleviating the discomfort in my shoulder!
