A couple of things you can do: 1) Make sure your gut feels right and the place looks legitimate 2) The simplest way to get your point across would be to just say something like: 我不要小姐，我只要按摩！(wǒ bú yàoxiǎo jié, wǒ zhǐ yào ān mó) - I don't want a prostitute, I just want a massage! Hope this helps. Hey Andy, sorry for the non-reply. A couple of things you can do:

I strongly recommend Oriental Taipan, especially the store near the Lidu area. I used to go there every week and have a masseur serve for me. I think his number is 307. Not sure if he is still there. He does an excellent job. I stayed in Beijing for 4 years. I strongly recommend Oriental Taipan, especially the store near the Lidu area.

The way you describe it makes it sound like bloodletting - you sure it helps? =) Gonna do some research (in Chinese, English will just yield mainly dodgy places) and get a list of reputable massage places up soon.

It’s also possibly the most painful." Nope. Have you tried "gua sha", which is outright torture, but helps get rid of colds and inflammations real quick - your blood stream gets so over-triggered that all diseases get washed out, if you survive it... looking forward to the list of nice massage places. Especially with the saunas I find it hard to find reliable places that are not too dodgy (my understanding is that they don't come completely un-dodgy) “foot massage … It’s also possibly the most painful.” Nope.
