The Best of South Florida: Best Massage

(WSVN) - With an "ooh" and an "aah," prepare for total relaxation. According to our viewers, the best massage in South Florida will never rub you the wrong way. So if you're looking to be pampered, we know just where to go.

In third place: try the Contour Day Spa in Plantation.

Fanit Panofsky, Contour Day Spa, says "We created an environment where a massage, even a simple massage, turns out to be an experience."

And an experience it is! Especially in their V.I.P suite, it's perfect for couples. "It's a beautiful suite where you can have all the services come to you." The magic hands of the therapists along with intoxicating aromatherapy makes a perfect combination.

Number 2 for pure bliss: "The Spa" at Doral.

"They have so many different massages here to choose from whether you like a Swedish or I think they even have a stone massage which is outstanding."

With 14 different massages, you'll have a tough time choosing. Tom Dannemiller knows why this is his favorite place.

He says "I just think as soon as you walk in you feel like your in a really special place and you're really being treated in a special way." And their newest specialty massage uses ancient therapy straight from the orient.

Jodi Cross, The Spa at Doral, says "The Thai massage is a series of stretching exercises and it's a very interactive type of massage with the therapist and the patron."

But the number 1 massage is right in Hollywood.

From your aromatherapy, eucalyptus steam to your candlelit relaxing massage room, the best massage of South Florida may look like pure pampering, but the hundreds of devoted clientele here at Massage Therapeutics Spa will tell you it's actually a life altering experience.

So life altering, even a massage therapist makes this his choice. After neck surgery, Roseann Eboli never misses her weekly appointment.

She says, "The massage therapy is wonderful, it really helps me with the pain and it keeps me from wearing a neck brace at all."

Owner Tim Carnell promises you'll feel the changes from your head to you toes.

Tim Carnell, Massage Therapeutics Spa, says "It is absolutely life altering, physically we'll say first, spiritually and emotionally you will not leave this property without seeing changes occur in your life."

Which is exactly what you need from a perfect massage.
