After the visa appointment yesterday I found myself wandering (technically the word is 'lost' but nevermind) in Pitt St, Sydney. I realised I was going to miss a train and so had 20 minutes to waste. I'd always wanted to try one of those little Chinese massage setups that you see in malls nowadays, so opted for 'Arms and Hands'.
Started out nicely, all gentle. But then they start sticking thumbs into muscles in ways that are extraordinarily painful. The pain is probably because my muscles don't get used properly, but the question then is, what types of massage are just nice and relaxing? I've heard of Swedish massages, but what about Thai? I want something to relax me, not make my feet sweat from the stress.
If you have one of these painful massages, how can you tell they did a good job anyway? My arms joints feel like they might be a bit looser today, especially the wrists. Which sucks when I try to push on things as the limited flexibility of those joints is what stops them from hurting.

So... your feet sweat when you get stressed? Something I gotta keep in mind ;) Though I do have to say, my mom used to go to a massage therapist after her car accidents. She would come home in complete pain (for the next few hours), but for the next week or two, she'd feel quite good because her muscles stayed relaxed.. So I guess you know it's good when it helps in the long run? The title of this entry could be misleading... When I read it, I first thought of US Customs and frisking... nvm. :D
Its the bash head on brick wall theory - ie it feels good when they stop
