I’ve been seeing a local massage therapist here in a virtually COVID-free zone occasionally this summer. He’s a straight practitioner and has a great deep tissue modality. I suppose I should be more worried than I am, but I feel it’s pretty safe.
While haggling can be off-putting, I have often countered $300 hourly with $500 for two and have never encountered any hard feelings; in fact, these sessions have led to subsequent meet-ups.
