No Hands In Needham, so to speak.
[QUOTE=Eligrn101; 1733983]I went to Seasons having read the reviews describing Seasons as giving an excellent therapeutic massage and not much else. But that's what I needed and the location was ideal. Just off the highway yet somewhat out of the way. Based on reports I thought I would draw Helen or Vicky, but instead I got 'Nance' (I think) , a middle aged woman. She told me she had been there 2 months. She had skills and effort but her massage was not my cup of tea, oriented toward deep pressure (methodical, lots of elbows, etc.) where I prefer a Swedish-like massage. Unlike other therapeutic massages, this one lacked even a hint of sensuality. Nance covered me with a towel, refused to remove it and readjusted it whenever it moved. If I grazed her leg, she quickly moved away. Never asked what kind of pressure I wanted or how I was feeling. Her personality was distant and aloof and I did not receive the kind of relaxation I have gotten with other therapeutic massages. I did get the full hour.
I love the location, however. I'm wondering if things are better with the other providers and if they will honor a request for a specific provider. I paid 60 + 10.[/QUOTE]It's been a few years since I had anything meaningful in Needham. I don't know if the place on Chestnut St by McDonald's has anything to offer. You are probably looking at Framingham area one way or towards Watertown the other way. There have been reports of one of the Thai places near Washington st in Newton recently.
Vicky is a nice lady, gives an outstanding massage but wouldn't hold your breath if you want more.
But if you have real aches and pains she will take take care of you.
