I have followed Ben for over 15 years, (previously Relax foot spa). So happy to see him at Yan May Foot Spa. (188 Hester btwn Mulberry & Baxter. ) I buy the package 10+3 free = 13 hrs The place is clean. Nothing fancy but the foot/back combo massages are Strong and Amazing to release knots, stress and toxins. I do a minimum of an hour usually 90 minutes to 2 hrs of the COMBO so Ben can get to all the areas. He's a master at knowing just what parts need the most fixing. I feel incredible afterwards. Wear loose clothes or change into shorts & sleeveless top. Drink lots of water afterwards. Tell Ben Meryl sent you.
I tried their massage course for 60 minutes (20 minutes in shoulders and upper back, plus 40 minutes on both feet and lower legs). Mike immediately knew which parts should be focused in his massage routine. He had the optimal strength for each acupuncture spots for me, but the friend I went with couldn't take the acupressure and she asked the masseuse to lower the strength of the shiatsu massage. I guess everyone has different tolerance level to the accu-pressure. I would recommend this location and would go back myself too.
Mixed feelings overall. My girlfriend and I were hoping to get a relaxed foot massage, but this isn’t exactly the place for that. The massage is very strong, very very strong. At one point a tool was used on my foot and I thought the tendons in my arch were going to explode.
By no means is this a bad massage - the masseuse certainly gives FULL effort, but I think that full effort was a bit much for us.
I read the reviews before going and I was a bit weary, but my girlfriend said to disregard - that was a mistake, all the reviews are accurate.
Very friendly nice staff and comfortable chairs
