Does anyone know a good place in Philly (preferably CC) to get a massage? Or even an all-afternoon spa treatment (or summat similar)?

Thanks!

There is always Toppers.

Also I have a friend or two that do deep muscle therapy and make house calls, they also start at $60 and hour for their services.

Center city is lousy with them. Literally.

Topper's, as someone already said, is supposed to be the best of the bunch. I'm sure they're the ones with the highest prices, too. People I work with also swear by Terme Di Aroma.

Oh, they do lymphatic drainage too. That looks like a better option, especially if you know people who have gone there!

I'm bookmarking it, oh yeah!

I had to look that one up. I was quite relieved to find out it was nowhere near as gross -- or painful -- as I had imagined.

*hehe*

The technique is very pleasant and relaxing.. It's softer, and a circular motion I think.

I'm going to have to check out the place you sent though. They have lots of cool stuff happening there!

I've been to Toppers once. They didn't impress me. They weren't bad, but the massage options are pretty basic.

My favorite, by far, was a lymphatic drainage massage I got in Costa Rica one year. I've been looking for a good place around here to get one. Looks like Eviama does them. I don't know what they're like personally though. Look like they have some cool packages too. http://www.eviama.com/index.shtml

I'm also intrigued by Raindrop theraphy, which I saw on one of the sites. I've heard good/interesting feedback about that. May have to give it a try one day.
