An ancient art now enhanced with scientific progress, massage in LA has become commonplace. A concentration of Thai and Chinese massage parlours dominate much of the Eastside as well as some of Hollywood. Most specialise in culture-specific massage techniques and often exclude additional spa treatments that many Americanised massage parlours have adopted. While hiring a masseuse is still common practice, especially for those in the upper economic tier, massage is now for the masses, ranging from $50 per hour steals to $125 per hour indulgences, complete with champagne and ridiculously high thread count sheets.
