I respect your no-shoes rule, I have the same one. Next time, I'll wear socks with shoes. The masseuse was considerate of my conditions and did his best to help me with my shoulder pain. The room was clean and relaxing. The oil was good on my skin, and the scent was pleasant. As for the massage, the pressure was hard but gentle at the same time; he was precise with the location. The pain relief was instant. For the following two days, my life was at ease from the pain. I would go again!
