[QUOTE=Vicesquad]Hello Gents,
Found a great place that provides a fantastic therapeutic massage but nothing else is available. New place in North Weymouth called Asian Massage & Bodywork, 555 Bridge Street. Parking in the rear. Its in a 2 story office building that is half empty, parked in the back, walked in the back door and found the stairs to the second floor. Walked in and found a woman named Angela. Asian and was brought in to a warm room felt great after being in the cold. I undressed, and lay on the table. Angela came in and started working on my shoulders and back, she gave a great hard massage that I like. I hinted if other things were available but she said no, this was strictly therapeutic massage. No problem because I had a lot of pains and aches and she did a fantastic job making my back and legs feel better. At the end of the hour, I got dressed and felt 100% better. Even though it is strictly therapeutic, for a great massage come make a appointment with this lady. I paid cash, $70 and 20 tip and she said that she would accept credit cards soon. (0 total for a great massage and her skills were great. I know as a monger that we all want to find the best in full service but when a fantastic massage and service are given, I think we should share that information too. If you want to feel better stop in, if you want other services, you will need to go elsewhere.
Enjoy,

Went to this place last night. Did 1.5hr for $100 + $20 tip (actually plus $3 for credit card fee, which is technically illegal and ironically the only less than legal activity which occurred during the session!)
I have a regular I see (someone totally legit and nothing to look at) for $80/hr and no tip (it is like going to the regular doctor and tipping would be considered weird)
Having missed my weekly standing appt I figured the time was good to give this one a try (plus I was in the area picking something up at Lowes)
I kinda feel for her somehow. But I just don't see her lasting in business much longer. We talked about Angel and 299 Newport (she has another place at 329 Newport) its clear what they do and what she does. Her massage was better than any typical AMP, but still well below expertise of the therapist I see regularly, and at or below that of Meridien Spa a half mile up the road (charging the same or less for nicer facilities)
I suspect this woman (said her name is Angela) will survive for a bit on the curiosity factor since this place screams AMP rub-and-tug not legit massage therapy. But I doubt she'll still be there 6 months from now. She is nice enough though.
PS - it was a bit funny the way she talked about Angel being a U.S. citizen and thus willing to flaunt the law. She was very catty about Angel and was really pissed when I told her she (Angel) was Cantonese, but I couldn't totally follow what the deal was. It was funny gossiping with her about Angel and several other Quincy providers, albeit I could only make out half of what she was saying.
