True. That's a placebo effect for sure.

I thought $10 would be good.

This place has 47 reviews on yelp and they are ALL 5 stars. $50 is the start as a "Signature bliss massage" You can add more to it for more so that is why it is only $50. It's the "basic" package. If I wanted deep tissue it would probably be $70.

I am also mainly going because I am looking into acupuncture and massage therapy for my back, muscles, and core weakness. I put a SHIT ton of stress/pressure in my upper back, shoulders, neck and lower back. The space between my shoulder blades is basically one solid knot.

As to the uncomfortables, I should be golden on being able to say...yeah I don't fly that way. The most uncomfortable thing my first time was the "Ok. Strip down and get under the blankets. I'll be right back".

Once. Was also Cupped right after as well.

The Acupuncture was a wonderful yet awkward experience. I specifically remember the ones that I had behind my ears and to the right of my shin. Anytime I flinched my foot (Causing the muscle running next to your shin to tighten) I became VERY aware of the needle.

I've had it once too. Lower back. Woke up with pain from a tailbone injury 12 years prior. I vibed with it. I turned myself into a giant metaphor of a lake trapped in the size of a pond. The lady (wonderful old Chinese lady. Friend of a friend) told me I had good energy because she saw how I'd let go a little more each time so twisted the needles. Trippy shit. I think it would be a lot harder to maintain that train of thought with them in my head and chin, though. o: Back of my neck was the closest.

I like the way Chef thinks. He's all about thinking outside the box and being spiritual. I almost went and had acupuncture on my shoulder after I dislocated it by his suggestion. He's all about vibing with stuff and healing without medicine
