Massage Therapist Review - Body Kneads - Jo

So many times, I have gone to Spa's that have gotten great reviews,to get a massage, only to be disappointed by the massage therapist techniques. Well no more! Just like the chef makes a restaurant, I think the therapist makes the spa. So let's follow the massage therapist.

Spa:
Body Kneads
Moutain View

Massage: 60 min Swedish

Therapist: Jo

Points: 15\60

Comments: I feel about 10 percent better. But a lot of the massage was hit and miss. For every trigger point she got, she seemed to miss three. She did some great moves on my neck and the back of my thighs. I was disappointed when she got to my hands and my feet. She did not spend much time on this area. I'd been on my feet all day and really needed some TLC in this area. However, she did focus on my shoulders and back, which I asked for.

Aron Ranen is a gifted filmmaker and professor who has received a litany of accolades for his groundbreaking documentaries, along with a couple of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Here he talks about his latest opus, Black Hair, an incendiary expose’ which is currently generating plenty of conversation in African-American communities all across the country.
His eye-opening investigation revealed that Koreans have come to control virtually every aspect of the multi-billion dollar, black hair care industry, from manufacturing to distribution to retail sales, while simultaneously employing tactics to put African-American merchants and wholesalers out of business.
