Last weekend, I managed to pull something in my lower back. In the past, I have gone to see an RMT near where I live. She's cute and effective, although I am always tempted to try a "flip" to see what happens, but since my wife sees her too, I decided that wasn't a good idea....
When I was at work yesterday, I mentioned this back thing to a guy in the office. He suggested I see his massage therapist since he was close to our office. He went to see a guy, but said he was very good and also practised "Active Release" which works on my back generally.
So I call this guy and set up an appointment for today. He gave me his address and when I arrived I was surprised to see it was a condo.
Upstairs, he had a pretty professional set-up with a proper table and posters of body parts, as well as the typical sappy music. I got naked and under the towel. The massage that followed was very good... much harder than I was used to, but seemed to loosen me up pretty well. We chatted and he told me he is a qualified sports trainer and fitness coach. All very proper. But then.... ya, you guessed it....
The dude starts playing around my butt and after a moment asks if I want a "release"... and this time it wasn't "AR" apparently. I didn't know how to respond because up until that point, everything had been very professional.
Anyway, I mumbled something like... "Oh I'm ok, thanks though..." and that was it.
Now I'm as open-minded as they come but now I am curious ... let me re-phrase that... I'm wondering about my coworker. He's married with a couple of kids. Now I'm wondering if he was trying to test me to see if I was "that way" or if he was just being funny. I assume that he must take advantage of the "release" since he raved about the guy and apparently sees him quite often. I haven't been back to the office so I'm wondering what to do when I see him tomorrow... Any ideas?
