Heard Today on the Massage Table

This week I heard some funny stories and thought they were worth sharing.

  •    A new client told me that recently she was getting a massage at one of the spas in town and she was really enjoying her massage until the LMT stopped working for several minutes and just held the back of her neck.  The client thought it was odd but did not comment.  Later in the massage the LMT once again stopped massaging and this time held her feet for several minutes.  The client said she opened her eyes and found her therapist nodding off to sleep.  She watched the therapist's head jerk a few times and then asked if she was asleep.  The therapist said "No!  I'm just holding a pressure point." 
              ~And here I thought the object was to relax the client....
  •    A fellow massage therapist was interviewing for a job and was taken aback by a story about a therapist who previously worked in the clinic.  Before starting the massage, the therapist (using that word loosely) took a patient outside and had them reach up and touch the limbs in a nearby tree so they could take in the tree's energy.  
        ~Oddly enough my friend was being interviewed to replace the tree hugger.....

  • In my clinic we have 4 treatment rooms and one of the rooms is rented by a skincare/waxing specialist.  When I walked into my lobby yesterday I overheard a lady with a very loud voice tell the wax lady "HE WANTS A LANDING STRIP".
           ~And you thought my office was quiet and peaceful.......
