Body Scrub by Peny, Houston

Licensed massage therapist Peny practices her art in a compact but cute studio. There, she glides around the table to reach the best angles from which to rub and knead her client's sore muscles, tight fascia, and stiff joints. She uses more than 10 techniques in all—complemented by oils and hot stones—but the most notable one combines gentle Swedish strokes and vigorous Thai massage and stretches. Peny also provides grapefruit body scrubs, which add a skin-exfoliating and softening element to the relaxation session through sugar and jojoba oil.
