Sounds From the Massage Table

I was working on a lady with a particularly nasty case of plantar fasciitis.  For those of you that have never heard of this condition, it involves pain and inflammation in the connective tissue around the bottom of the foot.  This condition is not only painful when you try to walk on the affected areas, but it is equally painful when your are getting those tight places massaged.  My poor client was definitely not enjoying her massage and on more than one occasion she uttered a four-letter word as she grimaced and tried to breathe through her pain.  While I was working on one of the more tender points on her foot she said "If I cry out for help, will it help or hurt your business?".   We both got a good chuckle out of that.
