I hear the waves crashing on the white powdery sand beach. I feel firm hands massaging my back’s deep tissue. I try to concentrate on the relaxation I feel from that oily and firm touch, but I can’t keep my mind focused. Another therapist is indulging me with a mind-blowing massage on my calves and feet. I feel overwhelmed with relaxation. This is my first experience of a 4-hand massage. And it costs me $8.
