ShanNaNa, Shanghai…never again

Have you ever had a bad massage? Have you ever felt so unsatisfied/uncomfortable throughout a massage experience that you just wished the time away, but you were too embarrassed/uncomfortable to say anything or stop the treatment? You are not alone!

My masseur at ShanNaNa barely did anything at all.  She lacked the hand/arm strength to give the type of deep tissue massage I craved. My mother gave better bedtime backrubs when I was a tot! The masseur clearly had no idea what she was doing, I was about ready to leave 10 minutes into the massage.

Massage is such a highly personal thing… everyone has different needs and while it is my responsibility as the client to select the appropriate type of massage technique or tell the masseur what I like, the front desk folks need to assign the appropriately-skilled masseur.

If you want to go for an hour long back tickle then this is the spot, but if you are looking for anything that even resembles a massage, stay away. This is the true truth as I say it as it is…

Reborn, Petaling Jaya…will revive even the most jaded execs

I’m very happy I chose this tui na therapeutic massage place on a whim.

The masseur gave me the longest, deepest massage I’ve ever had with the perfect amount of force and leaving me sighing with pleasure instead of writhing in pain. She exerted long, firm strokes, crisscrossing my rigid lower back with her powerful forearms and softening my tension-locked shoulders. She worked silently and efficiently; I’d tell you the details, but I fell asleep 20 minutes into it. The only unbearable part of my massage came when it was time to leave.

Friendly, inexpensive, and my back doesn’t hurt anymore = yay! I’m a fan. This is the true truth as I say it as it is…
