One of my favorite new discoveries in the South Bay is a Foot Massage (that includes a body and scalp massage) ONE HOUR for $20. If you go during Happy Hour, Monday- Wednesday 11am-3:30pm, then it is $18. "Foot Ralascology" as the sign reads (not sure what that means, I think it was a major typo) is located in a strip mall at Hawthorne Blvd and 230th Street (just North of Lomita Blvd).

I have seen this place listed also as Global United Medical Center however the only thing I have seen or heard of people getting is massages. My boyfriend is not fond of very deep massages and he describes it as being hit and folded into a pretzel, but then there are the 5 other people I have brought with me that absolutely LOVE it including myself. I think it really depends on who you get. I have never seen the women work on women or men work on men, but I highly recommend that you request Danny. Danny seems to have the flow of the massage down well, you can tell because every time I am there I fall asleep.
While fully clothed, you start off soaking your feet in a tub of hot water with a tea bag, while they massage your back, shoulders and neck, a little bit of your arms and your head. Ten minutes later you move onto a really comfy bed and lay on your back while they give you a short scalp and temple massage then the foot massage begins and they cover you in a towel so you stay warm. Shortly after this process is when I pass out. When your feet are all done they rub your legs and arms then they have you lay on your stomach with your head in the hole as they do a quick body massage from head to toe on the backside. Reminder all of this is fully clothed.
I can honestly say I now prefer going here and spending $20 + tip (I leave $5-$10 depending on who I get) than going to other local massage places. This is by no means a spa or a high end place, but the results I find more satisfying while on a budget and needing a massage.
You have to try this place out, please PLEASE please comment and let me know what you think.
*DISCLAIMER - they do massage pretty deep and it may not be for all, so tell them if it is too hard.
