Medo

For around $20 each, we got this massage and foot treatment. We keep our clothes on and sat on an ottoman. We plunged our feet into a very hot bucket of water.Then they added a packet of black stuff. While feet were soaking, they pounded on and then massaged our shoulders. Then they grabbed the top of my head and my neck from behind and manipulated it like a coffee grinder. I'm sure it looked absolutely ridiculous, but let me assure you it was very effective in loosening and relaxing my neck. They stretched our arms are back much like a Thai massage. They did our scalp and face.Then they took our feet out of the bucket and massaged some lotions and layered wraps and hot towels. By now we were almost asleep when suddenly the bottoms of our feet were cupped! Know what cupping is? Google it. I've had it done to my back but never to my feet. I didn't even know it was possible! All in all it was a fabulous experience. I have no idea what was in those concoctions (including the tea with flowers and berries and stiff floating in it. I was parched. I asked for water and I got two mugs of this stuff. Where was Kate or Wendy with a cup of water?) but we left feeling relaxed and refreshed. Did I mention it was 90 minutes of treatment for about $20? - Gena Mabee
