Best of Philly

Massage Bella Vista

First you’ll choose your scented oil and your music, and then you’ll be ushered into a dark, quiet treatment room where you’ll meet your therapist. With any luck, you’ll get Blue Simmons, whose expert hands will home in on your sorest parts like a missile on its target. After your 75-minute rubdown, she’ll walk you through an at-home regimen to keep you loose between visits.
