Massage

I've never got a real massage before, but I found myself with a spare hour yesterday and coworkers had been talking about this one place, so I decided to check it out. Only like $20 for an hour anyways, might as well give it a try. Though I had some reservations about letting a dude rub his hands all over me. It was pretty intense though. Used the full arsenal of fingertips, knuckles, elbows, forearms etc. Sometimes he'd have climbed on the table and you felt his knees lift off as he put his entire weight onto a few knuckles into your back. Was kindof painful, but on the back I could handle it just fine. But when he went to work on the shoulders and the neck, wow, I almost cried. I honestly can not remember the last time I felt that much pain. But I was stubborn, and did not make a sound. Though having never had a massage before, I have to wonder, is that a good thing? I've heard it's supposed to... I think... Anyways I was essentially in a daze for quite a while afterwards, I'm glad they give you a cup of hot green tea to sit and recover before going out onto the street.

So sore back that night and the next day, forgot to look to see if it's all bruised.
(Just looked, there is markings, like internal scraping)

They have several different treatments, maybe I will cycle through them (even the odd ones like "cupping" or "body scraping") if I have time. $6 for 1 hr foot reflexology dealy sounds not bad at all.
