I set up an appointment with a guy and go yesterday. First of all, he looked like REM singer Michael Stipe (in the 80's). I had no problem with that, it just took me back a bit. Anyway, after about 20 minutes he stopped and said, "This isn't doing you any good. Your body's not responding. I was standing on your hamstring and it wouldn't give in. You are the tightest person I have ever seen." So, I know my job is stressful, but this shocked me. He gave me the money back and said I might not respond to massage at all. Anyone else ever have this happen?

I dont know whether to be sorry or to congratulate you. My advice would be to find another massage therapist and see if they can work it out. -------------- I am from Philadelphia, for all the people who keep posting the infamous where are you from thread.

I have a hard time trusting the opinion of someone who quits after 20 minutes... at least you got your money back. -------------- I lost twenty pounds! Unfortunately, I was in England at the time...

I agree with the others, see if someone else can help you, but it was certainly nice that you were given a refund and honesty, that is always refreshing! -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL ***When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. ***The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.
