Hand massage in Manhasset

There exist signs of discomfort and pain, and then there are the underlying causes that over time, we become accustomed to, forgetting the root cause and only dealing with the ongoing pain by attempting to address each symptom individually. This is where I must express my highest praise for Yasmin and NY Structural Integration. Through her focused examination of my body and identification of the long-standing tension that I had accepted as stress and aging, to my surprise, she traced it back to an injury from decades ago that I had nearly forgotten about. My body had been compensating continuously, leading to various but interconnected pain points over the years. During the session, I felt at ease and secure in the supportive and calming atmosphere. Subsequently, I was guided on what to anticipate in the following days as my body adjusted to this new alignment, with follow-ups to ensure my well-being. I cannot recommend these services enough and urge anyone enduring persistent pain to reach out, as Yasmin and NY Structural Integration can shed light on the many interconnected aspects of our bodies to initiate healing.

The masseuse's skills are top-notch. They're patient and thorough, not rushing through the session.

I typically steer clear of these smaller massage parlors due to the risk of injury and inflated prices. However, against my better judgment, I found myself walking into one today. Oops, I did it again. Let me provide my candid feedback. Initially, the masseuse applied excessive pressure on my shoulder bones, twisting them uncomfortably. I dislike when they do that. After requesting a gentler touch, she adjusted, allowing me to somewhat relax. Yet, it felt more like someone casually rubbing their hands on me rather than employing proper technique for a massage. I once had a fantastic experience here with a different masseuse, but never encountered that level of skill again. On another occasion, a masseuse persisted with intense pressure despite my pleas for a lighter touch. It seems luck plays a role in the quality of service you receive. I still do not recommend this place. The lack of professionalism is concerning, particularly the disregard for privacy - walking out of the room with the door open while the client is face down and unclothed, or removing clothing without consent. They should always seek permission from clients before making such moves. While it didn't bother me, it could certainly disturb others. For instance, if a female client prefers to keep her bra on during the massage, that choice should be respected. Overall, I find the staff at these establishments lacking in professionalism, likely due to their lack of formal education or certification. They often have limited English proficiency, if you're fortunate. I only visit when truly bored, but it's advisable to avoid such places. Paying $60 to an untrained individual to simply rub their hands on you, plus a $20 tip for an hour, is not worth the risk of injury or disrespect.
