Off The Beaten Path: Let Us Ease Your Pain!

Both Charles and I suffered shoulder problems for a few months before our trip. When getting in and out of our coats became a struggle, we decided to go for a massage.
Siam Center has eight branches in Budapest, the location we went to perhaps was the main one since it was not inside any gym or hotel. The building looked dubious from the outside but the office was presentable inside. Bamboo trees stood in large pots, light scent of incense wafted about, and soft light illuminated the small lobby.
We told the receptionist of our problems, she consulted with the master masseuse, and then explained the procedure to us. She said Thai Massage uses an acupressure and dry method, although in my case, the masseuse would need to use a balm to help ease the pain.
The massage room was divided into cubicles with curtains in between. There was a mattress set on a straw mat inside each space. Soft music was piped throughout. The atmosphere was very relaxing.
We were instructed to take off all of our clothes and replace them with the pajamas. The masseuses worked silently except the periodic inquiries about our comfort. They used their hands, wrists, arms, elbows, knees, legs, and feet to put pressure on every physiological points of our bodies. They bent us this way and that way, they pressed, stretched, pulled, and scrunched. For an hour and 10,000Ft each, they pounded our bodies until tender and limp.
The session made Charles feel completely healed, partly because it was his third massage (he had two in Amsterdam the week before), partly because his masseuse was the master one. My pain was more intense than his, this was my first massage, and my masseuse was younger, less experienced, she has yet to learn to press hard enough to reach the inner layer of the muscle. In the end, I felt much relieved but not completely rid of the discomfort.
Had we not had to leave in two days and the office was not closed during those days, I would truly want to go back one more time to have my body pounded into mush again! :)
