I went to Rikyu for a massage last month. First impressions : the salon is located within the premises of a fitness club 2 minutes walk from Stonebridge Park station, near Wembley. On arrival the receptionist of the fitness club pointed me in the direction of the treatment room, where I was met by the therapist Emi. I was politely asked to wait in the reception area while the room was prepared, which was fine as I was early anyway. After filling out a treatment form I was ushered into the treatment area, which was very nicely arranged and decorated.

Before my massage started I discussed my needs and concerns with Emi, which I feel is an important part of the process that sometimes gets overlooked! The low-light ambience of the room created a pleasant atmosphere, with soft music playing that helped to put me into a relaxed and receptive frame of mind. The massage table was very comfortable, with an adjustable headrest. I have been given massages on rickety tables in the past so a high-quality table was a welcome addition.

Emi gave me a highly professional, relaxing and inventive massage that took 90 minutes but seemed a lot less! I'm a picky customer, but in truth I would say she is one of the best therapists I've ever used. She discovered knotted muscles I didn't even realise were there, and performed the treatment without slacking off for the full hour and a half.

All in all, I was very happy with my experience here!
