FINALLY someone who took me seriously!
On Wednesday I booked myself for a massage at the RMT school at the west end of Toronto (ICT Kikkawa http://www.ictschools.com/) because it’s awesome that I can get an hour long massage for far less than normal. (I got their sale card for 6 sessions at $140.00, I think their regular single session price is still only like $35.00)
I digress. I end up with this guy who’s super friendly… and really cute. (But no flirting is allowed, which, while I understand… *le sigh*) We’re able to chat it up, he’s nice & casual about everything which I adore (also makes me comfortable since he’s not all nervous & stuff about doing this) and basically tells me I have no problems, I’m just sore from sitting at a desk all day ( I’m happy there’s no major issues.)
I suggest deep tissue, he mentioned something about stretching or breaking down the fashia surrounding the muscles in my arms, & pecs to help loosen everything up. (It was a lotion-less type of procedure) Risks? Bruising and painful discomfort. My reply? “I bruise easily but have a high pain thresh-hold, so go nuts.”
It was cool. I didn’t really feel it was horribly painful, I giggled at times (but that seems to be an auto-response to things that are normally painful) and we were randomly chatting about different topics. Then the poor guy got grilled by one of the instructors for what felt like forever and listening to him go on about all these random things that didn’t really apply… and we stopped chatting afterward because I figured that’s the reason instructor dude came in.
The massage was awesome. And I was bruised immediately after the procedure (technically during.) The pics below were taken last night, so a little over 24 hours after. They’re HAWT. I <3 bruises (from willful consenting activities only of course) but I’m completely embarrassed by the lack of tone/definition in my arms. I didn’t even bother flexing because that’d make me feel even worse.
And I always prided myself in my triceps… back to the 100 push ups regimen I guess!
And I booked myself in on November 18th as well. I’m thinking December 3rd I’m going to try for a double, see how that works out. (Oi, it’s my Birthday present to myself… two days early!)
