Picking out a massage therapist

Buttercup · Monkey Proof is Beautiful yet hideous

I've used massage therapists at spas and at massage therapy schools. Generally, before your massage they'll ask a few questions about what's bothering you. They should also ask how much pressure you want or like. During the massage, you should let them know if the level of pressure is too much or too little. Unfortunately, you won't know if the therapist is good or not until you've had the massage.

Buttercup is correct. I also have used massage therapists. You can check with your chiropractor and see who they reccomend.

Just make sure the massage therapist is licensed and not working in a place called "Rub you Long time" or "Slippery Fingers"

Low lights, candles and relaxing music is nice and helps with the relaxing bit during the massage, but if the "therapist" glides out wearing skimpy lingerie and is holding a whip; you may be in the wrong establishment.

Well today was my first time...

I heard about this place in the newspaper last year, big article and they have 2 places, one in the south hills and one in the north hills. I live north so off to the Golden Touch Chinese massage today. I think Iw as the first customer of the day as it smelled like they were cooking breakfast from the parking lot. Nice smell..

I felt totally weird just going in but once I decided to go for it, WOW, this little chinese lady has hands, fingers and forearms of FREAKIN STEEL. OUCHY I need my momma san...She pushed and rubbed and dug into muscles I havent felt in years. Hopefully the thing will work for my situation..

Not pricey either. 28 bucks for a 30 minute deep tissue massage. Thye even have a website

http://www.goldenfingersllc.com/ Iam going back soon. If this gets rid of my neck and muscle spasms its well worth it. The shop is alittle run down considering the area is pretty much middle and upper class 'hood.

I hate when that happens.

At one point, well ok at a few points i thought she was trying to remove my PANTS. I was shirtless and couldnt understand if she wanted me pantless also. She kinda grabbed my waistband and kinda shuffled them down just alittle bit. I feel better mentally right now meaning I will go again and hopefully be more relaxed. They do seem very traditional as I had to takle my shoes off and wear slippers in the place, and the music is standard Chinese-Japanese resaturant music.

No happy ending here...GOod thing.

Ok, I'm not being funny or dirty or anything...but they didn't have you undress before the massage?

That is unusual. Haha, maybe they took one look at him & didn't trust him, lol.

Easy Eman · Mr. Cool

You haven't lost your touch! If it makes you feel better, I did laugh pretty hard at that. It's just that Foxfyre's comment was so very funny.

But you know what, Bread? I actually, honestly thought of you this morning...I was watching the Today show and saw a commercial for Mucinex which featured various bits of mucus dancing in a conga line. I did this:

and I wondered if you'd either seen or been the inspiration for it.

I love that commercial! I thought of going into advertising at one brief moment in my life, but felt my gift would be stifled if I had to do it for money.

I will just be gross for free...thank you very much.

One show I enjoy watching is Blue Collar TV. I would love to meet those guys in person. They had a bit on their show about jars of chewed up food on the market...it was so gross and so funny. The whole point of the product was to help people save time with chewing. I laughed so hard and just imagined how fun it was to create that idea. I think growing up with 2 older brothers and many, many male cousins helped me develop this twisted sense of humor...that and a lifelong battle with allergies. Mucus can be entertaining if you use the right tools to make it so.

Yes, I know. I decided not to give examples because you are a dear friend and laptops are expensive.

I appreciate that. You know how I feel about that substance, and it should not be shown as having a personality.

Oh, there's nothing at all wrong with a man receiving a therapeutic massage from a masseur.

Excuse me....

Boy.... are you really thinking like a chick here....No way could I relax with some hairy ass dude rubbing on me....

Buttercup · Monkey Proof is Beautiful yet hideous

Yeah, I know...sometimes I do think like a chick.

But see, a therapeutic massage is different than somebody "rubbing on you."
