I just had my first massage. It was real deep tissue massage at a physical therapy office, not some Massage Envy or a rub n tug.

I was planning on tipping, but when I was checking out, there was no spot on the CC receipt. I didn't have cash.

Are you supposed to tip at these medical massages?

No tug, no tip. That's my rule.

I have a regular therapist that I see for 90 minute sessions, and the bill is $119. I usually tip $31 because she does such a great job and remembers problem areas from previous appointments.

I'll give a 20 for a good hour. If they massage my head, not that head, they can get more

90% of the time, yes. I've seen large health systems have wellness offices with massage services, and they were barred from tips. But any other therapist, yes. $10-$20 for 1 hour, depending on how good they are.

OT baller. I kid, I kid.

I can't bring myself to pay more than $100 for 90 minutes outside of a vacation resort.

I tuck a twenty in my boxers with just a little bit sticking out the top. If they want it then they can grab the tip.

Tipping should cease to exists everywhere.

I haven't got a clue. My main chick usually massages me, and her gratuity is handled elsewhere.

Tipping depends on if you were laying on your back or on your stomach for said massage.

Only the tip. They usually can't handle any thing more than that from me.

She's got to cradle and tickle the balls during the tug. If she neglects this simple task I refuse to tip.
