Where’s the best place to get a massage?

One of my favorite pre-wedding activities was the pre-wedding time-to-relax-and-enjoy-everything massage.

This, ironically, turned out to be the one thing that somehow went wrong.

When I showed up for my appointment, they could not find it. Luckily, when I called another massage place in San Antonio, they had an opening in an hour. Since that was the only thing that went wrong, I consider myself to be extremely lucky.

My sister first introduced me to massages when I was 17. There was a massage school that she went to and decided my mom and I had to go too.

At first I wasn’t sure how I felt about some strange person touching me, but I quickly got over that and fell in love with my massage.

When it ended way too soon, I could think of nothing else but getting another one.

Even though at the end of every massage my masseur or masseuse tells me I really should have them more than once a year due to the amount of stiffness in my shoulder/neck area, I never do.

After this last one though, I think I need to start heeding that advice.

Before I can do that, though, I need to find a good massage parlor in Houston or Peach County. It doesn’t matter whether it is a massage school or not.

I find that when it comes to businesses like massage parlors, it is better to ask for recommendations than to just go to one, since some are more professional and clean than others.

On that note, I figure that since you, as my readers, have never steered me wrong, I’m wondering if I can get some recommendations on where to go.
