I was introduced to a massage center by @bloghound many years ago and I was hooked.
We frequent the one at the city center but sometimes come here to Vismar Massage.
I did have a massage at a spa two days before this but the soreness and back aches I had were not relieved. So I went to have another one but this time where I know I can have relief.
The masseuses and masseurs here are all blind. The only person who can see is the receptionist/manager.
You come to the place and ask for wjat you want - whole body massage or upper body only. You can either request for a particular masseuse/masseur or you will be assigned whoever is next in line.
You have to pay first and then you will be told what available room you can go.
This is an old house that was transformed into massage center. It is clean as it can be.
Some rooms have two massage beds with a curtain that divides it. There are hangers and hooks for your clothes and then you lie in bed waiting for your masseur/masseuse. A blanket is provided to cover yourself.
I always have whole body massage. They do shiatsu and swedish massage. You can request for hard or light massage.
In my conversation with some of the masseurs, some of them used to beg along sidewalks until they underwent training. Not long after they set up a massage center, a cooperative which is a big help and a total life changer. More and more blinds were trained and given this kind of livelihood. Most of them were able to save and buy their own house and lot - something they will never have if they were still beggars until today.
Whole body massage is around 1.45 hours and it is worth it. I immediately felt relief from my back pain after the massage.
They are open every day from 9:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. You can do home, hotel or office service by appoinment.

I was able to read them, but, to give the proper attention to them that they deserve, I did not as I am at a public library (believe it or not!) so, I typed one response to let you know that I did, in fact read your post and I am sorry that you didn’t get the personal replay as I would normally give.As you may or may not know, I have been out of town shortly after I posted this last #MarketFriday. Unfortunately, there was no internet, which I wasn’t aware of and so I did not have the opportunity to respond properly to all of your wonderful posts!
I want to take a moment to thank you for the dedication you have shown to #MarketFriday and to me and I cannot express how touched I am by all of you. It continues to thrive with your posting into the challenge! I want to thank you for the time and effort spent on these posts and the words you leave behind! I cannot tell you how much it means to me, your wonderful posts and showing off your different cultures!
Please accept a token of my love and appreciation with a little extra tip from me to you!!
MarketFriday loves you!

For employee appreciation day, my job gets a local chiropractor's office to send their masseuse to give us 10 minute massages and she is blind. She gives the best massage, I have ever had. It's like she can find places that you don't even realize hurt and massage the pain away.
They see with their hands. They made me feel tight muscles that I didn't think were there and they loosen those up.
