My girlfriend is a Massage Therapist and apparantly common practice is you don't have to tip if it is at a chiro clinic etc. but tip what you feel is right if at a spa. I didn't know you were supposed to tip either. Tips are not mandatory though, but most people tip in the 15-20% range, probably like most things at the spa.
Also, the therapists do not make $70 an hour, they usually get 40-60% depending on experience, while the spa/clinic gets the rest.
