As the old story goes, if you give a body a cookie, it's going to want a massage, too. Today's side deal grants your tired pack of muscles a one-hour Swedish and deep-tissue massage combination at Bliss Massage for $40. Bliss's expert massage therapist skillfully navigates and unravels the one-of-a-kind knots that build within weary bodies. A firm touch stirs up and shakes out negative clusters of built-up tension, giving each patient the pain-free freedom it takes to wrestle with everyday errands and compulsory swim tests.

Swedish massage soothes and calms through a variety of strokes and manipulations, while the deep-tissue massage penetrates the muscles with consistent finger pressure to salve chronic accumulations of pain. Bliss Massage's clean rejuvenation space provides a peaceful sanctuary with a heated memory-foam massage bed where patrons can recharge and don a new suit of loosened, uninhibited self-assurance.

Reviews

Yelpers give Bliss Massage SF a perfect five stars, praising the relaxing effects of the massages and the personal attention from the massage therapists:

• Right off the bat, Lisa makes an effort to make you feel comfortable and relaxed with some light conversation, but then lets her hands do the talking so I can just relax and "bliss out" – Christian V.
• Two days after my massage, I felt better than I can remember! The location of the studio is wonderful, in SOMA. I took BART and walked two to three blocks – Christopher F.
• This lady is amazing. I have had lots of massage but this was different…I walked out with full mobility and NO pain. – Nilu r.
