This massage at Aphrodite & Eros on Brislington Hill in Bristol was a full body massage purchased through Groupon. I have to admit I left there feeling like I hadn’t even had a massage. The woman who carried it out was very good at rubbing my skin and did this weird pinching thing on my legs and arms but it seemed very much like just another day at the office for her. I don’t think she actually massaged a single muscle and certainly never asked about any aches and pains or why I was having the massage in the first place. The whole massage was carried out in silence which don’t get me wrong I quite like. The room was nice and the music was very relaxing. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you like an extremely gentle massage with some relaxing music. I don’t think I’ll be in a rush to get back there any time soon.
