Lizhi Health Spa

Humpty Dumpty needed this place! All the King's horses have nothing on Lizhi!

I have had some good (before now, I thought GREAT) massages and some horrible ones. This was far and away the best massage I've ever had!!! Knights of Columbus, this was good!

Lizhi (pron. Lee-shee) is the owner. Lilly (pron. Lilly) is her sister and was my masseuse. Holy mother of Job, she was great. I fucking love Lilly! Sadly, I live in Pittsburgh, but the 5 hour trip for that alone would be worth it.

Because I read a 3-star review from someone who said they had difficulty describing the type of massage/work they needed done, I went to Lizhi with my Google Translate App open and in Conversation Mode. I went an hour earlier than scheduled to ask a few questions and be sure they understood what I wanted and then!!!!

Lilly pushed me into a room and I almost panicked! I was waiting for a lil old lady to come out of the back. I mean, that's what happened in New Orleans once....then again in San Francisco...Thailand...and maybe a few other times.

I immediately started typing in words in the Translator but then realized that I did not know what language she spoke. NO! This can't be. A few minutes later, Lilly came back to the door. "are you ready?" I wasn't. I was still in panic mode, fully dressed. I said, "no." Then I quickly undressed and thought, Fuck it. Just commit, you wuss...it's Christmas, after all.

I digress.

I don't even have time to go into details.

UPDATE: Yes I do. Here they are.

I took notes during the session that I scheduled (walked in) for one hour on Xmas eve and had to continue for another half hour...then another. I will never get a one hour massage again. I'm going for 2 hours, and may raise it to three if I'm in a 3rd-World or Developing Country.

To keep this short:
UPDATE: It's not short.

I've been going to a Chirpractor for 3 months for an issue that wouldn't go away. Instead of paying 70 dollars per 4-minute adjustment I paid 110 for two hours of ungodly bliss. I mean, this is why kings want to be Kings! Now multiply the 12 visits a month x 3. That's how many times I went and how much I spent - all for naught.

Lilly got to work. Sweet Odin's Raven, she was amazing! Shoulders, back, lower back...then legs, which honestly is part of the reason my back sucks - These hammies are tighter than a clam's ass at high tide, people!

And thennnnn? She asked if I wanted her to walk on my back. I said, ummm...."yeah?". I didn't realize she had two bars hanging from the ceiling to support her, and therefore I thought she would be unbalanced and probably just walk where it was safe. That is NOT how it happened.

Oh wait...first, to get the oil off of you so she doesn't slip while walking on you, she breaks out these hot towels. Jah Rastafari!! Merry Christmas to me!!

Then "The Walk" begins. While I thought her unusually strong hands could not have gone deeper, her feet did. It was something about the bars...the leverage they gave her to push down from the ceiling and dig deep into your pain, like some sort of Brute Goddess. Not just her body weight, but the weight of the entire building, with those bars!

Her Feet dug deep. Very deep. Deeper than the guilt that I was missing xmas eve lunch with my niece. She's a vegan.

Her feet were as serviceable as her hands. This woman can work!

I do not have time at the moment to go further, and YOU, yes you probably are the only one who read this far. So I'll get back to work, so I can make more money, so I can get more massages, so I can make more money.

Thanks!

There were 4 of us. We all got different services but all of us were 100% satisfied. I'd recommend to anyone.

My husband had a 20 minute table massage for $25. Reasonable price and a decent massage but the therapist talked on her phone in Chinese the entire time she massaged him. It made him very uncomfortable, not to mention she was not giving him her full attention. She would also stop massaging for a minute because she was preoccupied with her conversations. He couldn't even tell her to change her focus to another area of his back and neck because she never stopped talking. He would not go here again.

First time here. Prices were fair. Place was clean and quiet. They added hot stones at no charge which was very nice. Definitely a place I'd come back to. Important note: GPS. Takes you across the street near a TD bank. The actual store is located in the shopping center with Sandys Beef And Ale in the very back corner.

Wow .the cupping massage Was a amazing .The pain right way gone .I love it thank you

My husband and I got an 1 hour reflex foot massage there. The chairs were in the middle of the sales floor near the cashier so it was hard to relax with customers coming out and paying. The gym next door is also very load and you would constantly hear the gym members screaming and grunting to their work outs.

AVOID!!! My experience here was so horrible I had to create a yelp profile to review (after using yelp for 10 years). I called and made an appointment. When I arrived at the location it was empty. A guy came out of one of the massage rooms and said to call management because nobody is available then closed the door. I called the number again and they just said sorry miscommunication. Don't waste your time like I did. + think about security with nobody monitoring the unlocked front door while you're laying on a table wearing a towel.

Love deep tissue massage! Im not a cat don't like to be pet, hahaha :)))
It was strong and refreshing work! Feeling like a newborn! No back, no shoulder pain! Definitely will come back! Prices are affordable, nice clean place, atmosphere super...relax music. Thank you so much! See you soon!

Worthless experience for $60.00.
All I wanted was a good professional massage. Nothing more.
It started out with me facing down. Then touches lighter than a feather? I kept hoping that shortly after that a real muscle relaxing would begin. It never did?
Definition of Massage
muscles and joints of the body with the hands, especially to relieve tension or pain.
So I email them asking for a refund. A manager said meet me after 11am at the location and you can get your 60 back.
I get their and get attutude from the owner telling me I should have adked for more pressure?
I have never to anywhere else?
Bottom line, she offered another hour no charge. I told her I wanted a real massage elsewhere and that I don't trust them to give me a real massage.
She refused to give me the money
And then called the police who called me? He was just completing his paperwork and listened to my side and nothing to worry about.
Don't waste your money and time.
Victoria Spa 3 minutes from there gives great real massages

If I could give this place 1000 stars, it still wouldn't be enough. Found this place on Yelp and I'm so grateful I did! I went in for a foot reflexology service, the masseuse was so skilled and well trained. He saw that I actually had some serious knots and tightness on my neck and got those out. One of the rare occasions where it was so therapeutic and relaxing I fell asleep! I walked out feeling like a million bucks! What an incredible place and extremely knowledgeable and skilled team here. Incredible, incredible, incredible. I only wish I could go here everyday.
