Massages - Any good?

I wasn't really sure where to put this, but I guess here is as good a place as any!

Has / Does anyone here had / have a massage in the context of a beauty treatment / stress relief / general pampering? (not medical/phsyio type thing).

I'm thinking of having one (new "beauty salon" attached to my local hairdressers has just opened, so I thought I might give it a try) but I'm just wondering if they were any good for stress relief, relaxation, etc?

Any recommendations or comments, anyone? :)

    Id think so. I once had a head massage and it was heaven, I could have just fell asleep there and then as I was that relaxed.

    You get these machines from Argos, etc that send electrical pulses through your muscles and I've tried one where there is a Massage setting and it really feels like a Shiatsu massage ... That could be something you could try.

    Shiatsu massage....oh the heaven! It's sooo good! So relaxing and really gets rid of tension. It's really quite a hard massage, which I really like, but I guess it's a personal thing. It's not just concerned with gently rubbing the skin, it really gets the muscles, and they do stuff like walk on your back with their hands (so there's loads of weight pushing and stretching your muscles). Give it a go, I know loads of people who love it! Tates xxx

    Isle of Wight, Beauty School does full body (behave) massages for £8.

    Been there, done that. It was heaven.

    And yes, they are nearly all young girls. Not sure if that made it any better but I have never been so realxed in my life...

    i had a full body ayurvedic massage while i was in india. it was supposed to be some kind of detox thing. i don't really know if it worked, but i did feel all relaxed and generally well for a couple of days after.

    plus it was in india, so it cost about £3 for an hour-and-a-half's worth.

    I like really firm massages (light ones tickle too much :(), like being squeezed real hard. I find they help with stress around me shoulders. And apparently I give good massages to. My friend has trouble with his shoulders and I've helped that a couple of times.

    massages are extremely good in not just a physio sense. they are tension relieving and they actually do work if you are given a decent/proper massage. they are very therapeutic and do help whenever you are stressed or whatever :)
