Doesn't follow direction, unclean, unprofessional

by sportzjock

I was visiting from out of town, and decided that I wanted to treat a friend of mine and I to a good sports massage. When we "signed in", I wrote on the informational sheet that my upper back and shoulders were sore and needed some deep massage. I visited their restroom first and it was dirty and looked like it was in need of a cleaning. In the lobby, we could hear the massage "girls" giggling/gossipping -- it almost felt like a brothel. The person that checked us in, he said he was a chiropractor and that he would spend some time with each of us so he put us each into our room, and all he did was read off my sheet to acknowledge that I had a sore back and shoulders, and I was expecting more of a "chiropractic inspection", otherwise why tell me he was a chiro and just read off the sheet? Then in the massage room, normally, one should get a full body sheet to cover ones nak** self, but instead there was just the small hand towel to barely cover my midsection (and when she turned me over on my back, she didn't fully cover my midsection, granted I was too afraid (though normally not) to remove my underwear. She must not have read my sign in sheet because she barely touched my back and shoulders and in fact only just put her palms to them and ran her hands over them. Oddly, she spent a lot of time on my legs and did work them pretty hard, which was nice, but I really wanted my back and shoulders. Yes, I could have told her, but I really thought that she was just prepping the shoulders (because I thought that there was no way that was the actual massage) and to return to them later, but then suddenly the hour was already up. Please note that the 1-hour massage was really cut down to 45 minutes because she had me waiting for quite a bit before she came in to start. Also, she kept hitting my privates. On the otherhand, my friend received an oil massage and warm towel patdown -- and his massage person inappropriately told him that he had a nice "bumps" (meaning as*).
