I have had massage treatment by several of the establishments here on AC, including Vicky's. I've enjoyed the service at all of them. Great for relaxation, just fine for lightly stiff muscles.

BUT! If you are really looking for something to treat muscles that are ready to go into spasm or that are badly tight or inflamed go to the Kung Fu massage guy on Middle Street close to Cocina Caramba restaurant. I run a lot and at age 44 I find that tight muscles can cause all sorts of problems. This guy is Chinese, ex Red Army, super-fit (despite the fact he smokes like a chimney) and he's GOOD at his craft. He is 50 years old, he looks about 30. He uses acupressure (I think it's supposed to be like acupuncture without the needles). The technique is painless and quite relaxing but is also incredibly effective. Traditional massage is also used. If you have a specific problem area he will concentrate a bit more on that, but you will receive treatment for the whole body as all muscles are connected. Take the hour long treatment (there is a 30 minute option which is good for a "follow up" visit).

If you've got the money and the time a 1 hour treatment by the Kung Fu guy followed by a light, gentle 1 hour massage by Vicky or the girls at Soul Spa would make for a great morning or afternoon.
