"At the 15-year-old Massage Therapy Center (2130 S. Sawtelle Blvd., Ste. 207, West L.A., 310-444-8989), sessions last a full 60 or 90 minutes (unlike the 50 minute hour becoming the norm elsewhere), and therapists get a good 15- to 30-minute break between clients. 'We are not a sweatshop. And we don't charge differently for deep-tissue, acupressure or Swedish,' notes the founder, a past president of the California chapter of the American Massage Therapy Association. If you haven't guessed from the name, the center offers one thing and one thing only: massage. What's more, it makes the extra effort to have clients fill out presession questionnaires so that therapists can know the types of moves clients need, the styles of their most recent massages, and their injury histories. No wonder massage vets like Alicia Silverstone, Sandra Bullock and Shaquille O'Neal come here."
