How many of you actually get a free massage at work?? And I’m not talking the kind your friends give you during tea time while you sit in your chair and then they scurry back to their desk when the boss comes around the corner. I’m talking about a proper massage when you lie face down, somewhat topless [had my bra on] and have a professional massage therapist work on your back. O yea, it was definitely something different!

It was sometime last week after the major bulk of enrolments were done and our team leader had arranged for each one of us to get a 10 minute massage from the people she normally goes to. And boy was I surprised by it!

I was more nervous getting undress for the boy who was also doing backs so I cleverly positioned myself so that I’d get worked on by this friendly, Chinese lady. When it was my turn, I told her quite honestly that this was something that is new to me and that I didn’t what
to do or if there was something I had to do. She was kind enough to explain it all to me which I was very thankful for. So after the small chitchat and telling her that I had back issues, I got half nakkid and waited for her to come back in. And when she did, she was just so friendly trying to keep my attention off the pain coz she really used her bull strength to get at my back muscles and knots.

After that, it felt good but sad to say, I was sore and tender for days! Even now, I can feel the slight soreness on my lower back. I don’t know if it is meant to be that way or not, but one things for sure, I won’t be going for another back massage any time soon! Unless…..it can help reduce cholesterol! Then MAYBE, just MAYBE….I might consider it again.
