ANYWAY I sort of want to start a thread about this but nobody reads my threads so here we are.
I got a massage today (NOT A SEX ONE BEFORE YOU START) at "Dr. Stretch", a chain place that does sort of physio massage? They just opened about 1 minute from my office with a trial half-price offer, so I thought why not, because I've had a stiff neck for the last few years, and a tightness in my lower back.
It was a bit intimidating because they explained a LOT OF THINGS in Japanese and I was just about clinging on, but anyway the guy turned me out. A nice guy who even tried a tiny bit of English to help me follow his instructions. There was a stunt where I had to move my arms in various directions and he said they could bent a certain amount and the goal was to get to a different amount - let's just say that could EASILY have been abused to just pretend I made an improvement, not transparent at all. and sure enough I did improve (though not miraculously as much as he had estimated, so maybe it wasn't BS).
