The 2015 Global Satisfaction conducted by Waze identified Metro Manila to have the worst road traffic on earth and we can’t agree enough. Ask anyone how their commute from work is and you’ll instantly get a long rant about how long it took to get from point A to B. We find ourselves ten times more tired when we get home because of this.
Ending the day with a soothing massage is the best treat we can give to ourselves after a day’s worth of hard work. But the last thing we want to do when we’re exhausted is to get out of bed. In that case, call a massage therapist. There are countless of options across the metro that offer massage services at the comfort of your home. Here’s a select few based on customer testimonials.
Massage MNL
0916-7988656
Massage MNL sends highly-trained and licensed therapists to your home to give you that well-deserved massage.

Another specialty treatment is their lymphatic drainage massage, which is said to remove waste and toxins from your body. You have the option to get your treatment from 60 to 120 minutes.
