Last week as I was escorting my 70 years plus client back to the treatment room she asked me to not use pressure quite as deep as I did for her last massage because "it hurt a little bit". I asked her if she hurt after her massage and she answered "No! I felt like a million bucks!". So then I asked her if she was sore the next day and she again answered "No." I then asked her to explain when exactly she was hurting. She told me it was just when I was actually doing the massage. So I asked her if the pain she experienced was deep or just slightly uncomfortable. My client told me that it was just slightly uncomfortable. So I re-verified that she felt great after her massage and the only pain she felt was when I was working on one of her sore spots. After she had agreed with me I told her that it seemed like I was at just the right depth and I further explained that sometimes a therapeutic massage could reach the point of what I called a "good hurt", which it certainly sounded like was the case with her last massage. Showing her years of wisdom she said "So basically I just need to shut up and take it, right?"
Client: "Isn't Alli the stuff that gives you exploding diarrhea?"
Me: "Well, you definitely can't trust a fart."
Me: "Do you know how much I appreciate your being so diligent in showing up for your appointments?"
Client: "Do you know how much I appreciate YOU keeping our appointments?"
Me: "Wow your feet are not in a happy place!"
Client: "Well I was in New York and I had a Sex in the City moment so I stupidly tried to walk in 4 inch heels while I was sight-seeing and shopping."
Client: "I told her what I thought about that blankety blank crap...only I didn't say blankety blank."
