You see PROS getting massaged after every ride in a training camp, then they back it up with another 4-6 hour ride the next day. My experience is feeling sluggish the day after massage.

They'll massage for next to nothing, however the students really don't know what they're doing. It's much better to spend the money and get someone who's familiar with your specific sport if you want to get the most out of it. I also recommend getting a male therapist. Sorry homophobics - this isn't about the enjoyment factor - it's about having strong hands that can get into all the spots where you need it most. I find that many women don't have strong enough hands to do a good job on me. I'm sure that's not always the case, but it's my experience.
