Snake Massage

An Israeli health and beauty spa is offering a new service for its customers : A Snake Massage, located in Northern Israel. The treatment consists of six non-venomous snakes, massaging the client’s aching muscles and joints for about $70. Ada Barak’s spa uses California and Florida King snakes, Corn snakes and Milk snakes for the massage.
Barak believes that physical contact with the reptiles can be a soothing experience. She says that she was inspired by her belief that once people get over any initial misgivings, they find physical contact with the snakes to be soothing.

I don’t think I’d get much from this. I want a nice deep massage that snakes wouldn’t give. I do see how it could be soothing, though… gentle touching usually is, you know?
A massage sounds good right now too.

Hi Dunn
This is a really interesting subject – I have Arthritis and at the same time used to keep Royal Pythons.
I used to let the wrap themselves round my knees, and arm joints.
As they are made-up of many individual muscles and as they grip tight, but not too tight, they can give you one of the best massages ever!
I have told friends about this and they thought I was weird, but here is the proof!
Thanks for this!

I can’t even imagine how that’d feel. I think it’d totally creep me out. It’d be like fear factor!
Oh no, this is not for me! YIKES!

I suppose u could say that it was a bit strange, but what do u do if you have extreme arthritic pain and u are a poor student – oh no mister… lol there are no expensive massage sessions, u gotta improvise lol…
Anyway in all seriousness, it does work!
Cya, Andy
That’s just odd. I don’t mind snake, but crawling on my back? No thanks, give me a message with human hands please.

Hi again,
My advice, is you must try it before you knock it!

I think, it is better to get an experience of it so as to clear the views.

A `snake massage’? Now that sounds like a hard thing to sell! I bet the people who do it feel great afterwards though, if only from the adrenalin!
Ohhhh, no thanks!
