Where to get a massage in the City?

[Salgar]

Without sounding like a mincer, can anyone recommend somewhere in the City (of London) to get a massage. My back is pretty effed lately from sitting in an uncomfortable chair all day with no back support.

This comes because I was sitting in an airport the other day and tried out one of those massage chairs and it was the best 2 minutes I'd had in ages.

I've tried looking up online but everything gets quite dodgy pretty quickly.

You could always ask on punternet

Could you not try a spa? Or a health club? Plenty of gyms have in house staff offering full body massage or head, neck and shoulders, depending on the problem areas.

Would probably be your best bet in the city.

Good, 1 out of 3 answers not being about escorts is a good ratio. Yeah I might call up some local gyms

I bet the chair was thinking that too.

Boring answer, but other than trying a gym, if you work for a big enough firm then HR should have contacts for osteopaths in the City through your work health cover.

Have been recommended a good one on Fenchurch ST, can't remember the name though.

Failing that, try behind Spitalfields Market going towards the football pitches at the railway yards. Won't help your back - but might take your mind off the pain.

So I've heard....

There's a place off Broadgate Circle that does it. Pretty sure it's physio stuff and not .. well you know.

Don't forget to ask for a 'happy ending'.

Reebok Gym, Canary wharf. Go there for my back when it flares up.

I took my missus for a massage on her 21st birthday. It ended up being a brothel. True story!

There's one just off Bow Lane that a couple of colleagues recommended

This deserves it's own thread.

Also, tell me that is your missus in your profile picture.
