No real skills. Typically
[QUOTE=TjJohnson904;4260972]Lane Ave, went last week. This was my first time going to a parlor so I'm not familiar with it, but I had a pleasant time. It's by appointment only. Went for the hour massage which was 60. Flip was great, left a 40 tip. Will repeat, but maybe not the hour. My lower back was sore as hell later.[/QUOTE]Unfortunately the AMP's don't usually have the skill sets necessary to deal with real pain or avoid causing muscle unrest elsewhere.
But, they usually have an arm that can do the jack hammer motion like nobody's bitness.
Like watching a porno and hoping for a meaningful plot
I have received real therapeutic for sore muscles at an AMP but it's a rarity. This isn't relevant because so much has changed since but the best "help" I got was once at Aja about 4 or so years back. I hobbled in and asked if the could walk on my back. I was so bad off I didn't even care if I got an HE. The girl put some sort of a heavy heat pack on my back and wrapped me up really good for about 10 minutes it seemed and I was starting to sweat when she came and walked on my back and things literally started popping back in place and then she gave me some stretches and more things popped in place and I walked out healed.
But that's rarely the case.

Vitality Massage, Jax Beach
[QUOTE=TetherBall;4267866]I agree Mac, but you can get an amazing therapeutic massage at Vitality Spa in JAX Beach and I've got to say they do a great job, better than most of the American born massage therapists I've seen. A fellow monger with scoliosis pointed me there about a year ago. See either Cindy or Mary. They're both licensed and definitely know their stuff. I think both had backgrounds with chiropractors offices and both of them have provided relief for me chasing down and melting trigger points as well as helping with pinched nerves (bad disc). While YMMV, no extras have ever been either hinted at or offered and I doubt that's a possibility. This isn't a plug, and it's off the board's general topic, but they really are good at what they do. The place also has a table shower and stand up shower, but they do that after the massage there.[/QUOTE]Agree. Cindy is great. Get her to walk on your back. Also had great massages with Kerry and Amy. YMMV, but I think you're right. DIY is the most you're going to get.
