I love a good massage. I'd rather spend my money on that than clothes and shoes or pretty much anything else. And I've had a fair number of them from all sorts of massage therapists, ranging from the little old lady who does it out of her home in rural Dripping Springs to therapists who cater to celebrities.
I just wanted to let you in on the best massage therapist in the world... his name is Matt and he's at milk + honey spa in Austin. He's been my absolute favorite for a while now, but I just had a 2-hour massage with him on Saturday that seriously rocked my world. Like, I've been dreaming about it ever since (and not just because Matt is super cute). I've always felt that a 1-hour massage was too short and though 2 hours was the perfect length, it still seemed to go by too fast! Matt listens to what you want and then gives you that, plus what you didn't even know you needed. With some therapists, they find your knots and work them out in a way that has you cringing as a reflex. He works out those pesky knots and sore muscles but in a way that still feels totally relaxing... then finds knots you didn't even know existed and works those out too. You leave feeling like you've just had an intense spiritual experience and that Matt knows you better than anyone else on the planet.
I'm only telling you this because I trust that you'll only use this knowledge for good and not tell anyone else because I want to make sure I can still get in to see him when I come into town next!
Re: PSA: Best massage ever.
two hour massage??? ::swoon::
lucky.
[<--- that's me pouting]
It was my birthday gift from DH (though I suspect he got me this so he could have me out of his hair while he spends $$ at the record store) but now I'm spoiled on the 2 hours! I have another gift certificate to use there, but I think I might have to pay extra to get another hour...
Oh, PS... do NOT drink a lot of water before you go if you do the 2 hours! That was the only negative to the massage... I had just come from lunch where I had a mimosa and two big glasses of water since I was sitting outside. I peed before the massage of course, but 45 min into it I had to pee again...big time... but I didn't want to get off the table! So drink water AFTER not BEFORE!
