I literally just had the best massage of my life here and that's saying a lot. Ever since I was a kid, I carried the majority of my stress and tension in my upper shoulders. After years as a student, being hunched over books and computers studying and carrying insanely heavy backpacks, and then as an attorney, again being hunched over computers all day - my shoulders were as hard as rocks. I've had masseuses in the past gasp in shock as they tried to work the knots out of my shoulders and upper back and failed miserably.
It's been a while since I've had a massage since many of them are disappointing. My most recent massage was probably 4 months ago at Wi Spa in Koreatown, which was pretty good. But I had read that the Larchmont Sanctuary Spa had changed ownership last year and they were offering lots of specials, etc. Intrigued and taking a leap of faith, I joined their membership program. I picked the lowest level which is $90 per month (with a minimum six month commitment) and that gets you 1 massage OR facial and 1 copper tub bath OR a foot treatment. In addition you get 10% off of other services and other special offers. Considering the cost of one massage is about $130 anyways, this seemed like a great deal.
