Clinique H&H

I had a groupon for this massage therapy, acupuncture and Chinese medicine clinic. I really didn’t know what to expect but the website said it offered a whole range of services, used natural products and had a holistic approach to health. Although I wasn’t sure what to think at first, I really enjoyed the treatment and would highly recommend the hot stone massage to anyone who likes a very firm massage without the long, fluid movements. The male Chinese therapist moved quickly over all the sore muscles. I didn’t leave sore, just thoroughly beaten up in a good way.
The space was very small and not overly zen-​like, and I was already undressed when the therapist came into the room, since the female receptionist instructed me to do so. So it was strange that he didn’t introduce himself and just started massaging my naked back. I didn’t even know what he looked like. And I tried to start a mini conversation to tell him where I was particularly sore and make myself more comfortable, but his French wasn’t that good. His English didn’t seem great either.
Still, I now think this clinic specializes in Chinese massage, so they’re working with Qi and meridians in the body. I can’t be sure, but by about halfway through the massage I was much more comfortable with the therapist and trusted he knew what he was doing. He even did some Thai yoga-​like stretches with my legs, which helped. I didn’t get any feedback on my tightness but I got what I paid for, for sure. I like it here.
