Overall, my first Thai-style massage at Chaba was awesome. It was clean, inexpensive, and semi-relaxing (hello, I know it hurts, but please keep your grunting to a minimum). Thank you Citysearch for introducing me to CHABA..I don't think I'll be going back to those boujie joints for a massage! now I know why Chaba got voted for best massage.
Hands down. No contest. ??After my class this morning (yay for Hollywood Aerial Arts!), everything in my upper body needed a little TLC. The place was clean and calming, and everyone there was super friendly. I was escorted to a private room and shown a pair of short to put on. Sophia, my masseuse, asked a few questions and then she set to work. Having never experienced a Thai-style massage I didn't know what to expect. But after a few minutes my sore shoulders felt like putty and I was silently thanking my fellow for turning me on to yet another amazing find. The massage was deep enough to release muscle tension, but not enough to inflict pain. Just remember to breathe through the stretches and pressure. It hurts more if you hold your breath! ? Luckily the massage was so damn good that I was blissed out and didn't really mind. Just be sure to enter the place with a low voice. The peeps in the treatment rooms will surely appreciate it.
Pros: This was the best massage I've ever had.
