I used to love getting massages from providers, but recently I hurt myself. I have a Massage Envy across from where I work and I got a monthly subscription. (FYI they aren't rated as high on Yelp as other independent masseuses, but I liked the dependability of a chain.) The massages blew my mind!

A provider is a beautiful lady whose main job is not to give you a massage. A masseuse is someone whose job is to ease your pain. They are two disparate roles, and in separating them, you get the best of both worlds. Plus, a massage is like fifty bucks. Do you want to waste session time on something you can get at one seventh the price?
