The growing popularity of massage therapy can be attributed to the fact that more and more people are becoming aware of its benefits. While it is not a replacement for medical treatment, it can be a valuable addition to your healthcare routine. Though massage therapy has been used by people for centuries to heal and relax, it has become more accepted and mainstream in recent years, growing into a well-established form of healthcare once again. Aside from managing to de-stress the body, massage therapy can also be used to treat different medical ailments and conditions in the body. Therapists apply different techniques to manipulate the soft tissue of our bodies to relieve us of stress and help us relax. As much as I want to support a Black female-owned business, this is not an honest or good business, and you shouldn't support them.Massage therapy is one of the oldest stress management techniques in the world. Their website is all lies and stock images I honestly feel like this business is a front for something else. No one ever called me back, but it was honestly worth it to not go back for my health. My body finally healed, and in order to try to not waste the entire Groupon, I called four times to reschedule my second massage (I figured another masseuse might be better) but each time they just took my name and said they'd call me back after they checked the schedule. She also tried very hard to sell me on other services and book my next massage right then and there. I had to pay the exorbitant "fee" that "Groupon charges", as others have complained about here, which made the Groupon not even worth it, and I felt very pressured to leave an undeserving tip. The massage ended in 45 minutes, but I was more than happy to get out of there. She also used one of those times as an excuse to get me a bottle of water-I've only ever received water at the very end of a massage. Rhonda left twice during my massage to talk to someone who came in the back door, even though they were closed. The lotion she used was so strong-smelling that I had to take two showers, wash all of my clothes inside out and air my coat out for a few weeks to get the smell to semi go away. I was sore for three days and had bruises on the spots where she worked out my knots. I tried to say something but couldn't get a word in edgewise. I was honestly worried it would mess up my back. She also took a flinch from me as sciatica, so proceeded to "work on my sciatica." It was so hard and she worked on those same spots for so long that I felt like I got sciatica from her massage. The massage was not a massage – it was light stroking motions up and down arms and legs and then she found a few knots in my back and proceeded to work on them to the extent that I was grimacing. I was sure I got COVID and quarantined for two weeks after the massage. I laid face-up while she talked at me about "fake news" really close to my face in a small un-ventilated room. She told me I didn't have to wear my mask, so I assumed she would wear a mask-wrong. The place is filled with weird tchotchkes and smelled like very strong incense, there was R&B music blaring from the hallway, and when Rhonda finally came into the room, she smelled strongly of weed. Granted I filled out "paperwork" and went to the bathroom, but I just figured she'd make up the time at the end-I wasn't even there a full 90 minutes. My husband purchased the Three 90-Minute Deep-Tissue Massages with Elevation Groupon and I had such a bad experience that I only went to one of the three massages. This was THE WORST massage I have ever had, and I've have had my share of massages from Groupon.
