upon entering the Center the aroma swept into my senses and made me feel immediately at ease...i could breathe for the first time in a week since coming to ny from florida and enduring things like heaters and low humidity. the girl at the counter was friendly and speaks english better than i do. she immediately hooked my friend up with her requested masseuse, ruby . she then suggested richard for myself. as it was my first massage, i was a bit nervous about having a male, but decided she knew what she was doing, so i went with her suggestion. it turns out richard knew what he was doing, also! he started off by massaging my feet, and by doing so he could tell where i was having problems...so unbelievable! he applied pressure the outside of the ball of my foot, and all of a sudden there was quite a bit of pain there (where previously there had been none). he immediately released the pressure and said, "right shoulder has problems". amazed, i agreed. how did he know that i suffer from tendonities and bursitis after years of competitive swimming?? he did the same to the other foot and came up with the same answer, along with that my lower back has a little pain and also my neck. probably from lugging my bags to the upper east side, out to l.i. and back... richard left the room while i turned over and covered my body in another sheet, so there was never skin to skin contact, but the massage was amazing. it's been over a week, and my back, neck, and shoulders have never felt better. normally, after teaching all day, my neck and back will need to pop or crackle, but nothing since richard worked my worries away! he finished with a neck and scalp massage after i was dressed and sitting in a chair. oh, the pure relaxation!
