Funny Reasons Not To Get a Massage

I typed into ChatGPT for funny reasons not to get a massage. The response (with my comments in Italics) ….. You might find yourself uncontrollably snoring like a chainsaw, embarrassing both you and the massage therapist. (nb massage therapists don’t care) Your muscles might enjoy the massage so much that they decide to unionize and demand regular spa treatments, leaving you broke. (could be a problem…) You could accidentally invent a new form of interpretive dance while trying to gracefully…

Things Massage Therapists Say That Would Get Them Fired If They Worked Somewhere Else

A Facebook poster recently posed the question in a massage humour group “What is something that you said today at work that if you worked someplace different would get you fired?“ As a disclaimer for the masssage industry, many of the answers below are from therapists to clients (or between therapists) where there is an established relationship so more casual than for a first professional interaction. “Can I touch your butt?” Damn, you got a tight butt!Hey you wanna stick…

Weird Massages

When trying to think of a topic to include in my blog, I thought of some of the weird massages I’ve given. There have been times when I’ve finished a massage and wondered “WTF just happened?” Now, to be honest these have been few and far between. Most of the Sydney home massages I’ve provided over the years have gone very smoothly. But occasionally someone has some, what I would consider, unusual ideas about how the massage could proceed. However,…

You know you’re a massage therapist when….

You know you’re a massage therapist when… You automatically wash your hands up to elbows You come home and shower the people germs off You don’t think that rubbing oil into naked strangers bodies is at all weird You notice complete strangers’…

Sydney Mobile Massage Booking
Funny Massage Story #3

Funny Massage Story #3

Just a short story this time. Received booking from a wife as a surprise for her husband as he had been working hard and was generally fairly stressed. The appointment was scheduled for 8pm on a Sunday night. I arrive and knock at the designated time and hubbie answers the door in a dressing gown. And a very crest fallen look on his face. Turns out his wife had put the kids to bed early and told him to go…

Massage – My Pet Dislikes

Massage – My Pet Dislikes

Not that we are biased but receiving massage is wonderful ….. or should be wonderful. However occasionally there are times when the massage therapist is not tuned in to the desires and needs of the massage recipient. Sometimes an hour on the table can seem last an eternity. Fortunately these times are the exception and not the rule. This article lists a few of the things that we don’t particularly enjoy when receiving a massage. 1. When an hour is…
