As you lay flat on a mat the
masseuse uses a few other
techniques in the massage rotation.
Here is an example of what could be
done.
First, you get a lightweight dog
trained to run up and down your
back as the masseuse rubs your
neck. Next a purring cat is placed on
your neck as
a larger dog is now
brought in. With the help of the
masseuse it shifts its weight between
different muscle groups on your
back. A rub down is given where the
dog's paws aren't.
Those animals are taken away and
you have ball pythons placed on your
arms. (For those who don't know,
the feeling of a snake moving on
your skin is like a massage.)
This allows for the masseuse to be in
more than one place on your body
and also opens itself to many
possibilities.

<Next a purring cat is placed on your neck as a larger dog is now brought in.>
Is this when the acupuncture portion of the session begins? |
|
| |
Ha! Figured that would be brought
up, but that was alot wittier. |
|
| |
This is one of those shoulda posteds, except I didn't build an idea around it -- just a really good joke. |
|
| |
I once made a joke several years ago in a semi-crowded elevator when someone mentioned shih tzu's. I said, "and I quote" ... |
|
| |
Doesn't the little dog get angry when you rub someones back with it? |
|
| |
Exactly one person in that elevator got it. Out of maybe 7 or 8. Sheesh. Well, at least it was a cute guy. |
|
| |
Anywoo, really good idea sartep. I especially like the progression aspect of the idea. |
|
| |
Purring cats should be useful in this concept (viz. all the recent medical stuff about how they lower your blood pressure and tension levels, help damaged bones to knit, etc), unless you're a cat-hater, of course. |
|
| |
And *oddly* enough they actually exist. :) |
|
| |
I'm sorry (thecat) that some people
treat you badly. |
|
| |
Thanks sartep. A few really good people who will actually speak up are worth the b.s. Also,if you keep at it - relentlessly and fairly -I believe even the apathetic majority and mean (bitter,rationizing) vocal minority will soften up and be nicer. I really believe most people are not very nice. They make too many accommodations to be truly decent. But given the chance (and given a good shove in many cases) they would like to take it. They are just scared. Scared people can be damn vicious. But they can be brought around. As a realistic optimist I don't just believe this, I know it. Empirically. Thanks again. |

What you say about humans is
very acurate but much of that
changes depending on immediate
geographical location. Some
places just have a few more nice
people than others. I will
definately agree with you that
many people would rather keep up
the appearance of being nice than
actually be nice and also would
like to add that many of them
abhor change or differences. But
that is a rant for another website
and a completely different group
of people. |

This is well and truly Baked. Not only does Harvey (a pedigree Shih Tzu) come and trample up and down your spine if you lie on the bed, but he has an absolutely uncanny knack for detecting any painful or injured joint, which he will then meticulously lick for long periods. He also has a habit of curling up on the injured area (necks and backs) and since his body temperature is much higher than a human's - plus the thick hair - it's like a hot compress on the affected part. |
|
| |
He's not the only dog we know of that does this sort of thing. |
|
| |
Actually, just the name is a pun, I
was actually thinking of mixing
animals with massage for stress
relief. Heated stones or warm
paws, someone's feet or four paws
on your back, a warm compress or
a purring cat. It could open up a
whole new genre of massage. |
|
| |
As for snakes, I urge everyone to
try resting a baby ball python on
your neck and tell me if that
doesn't feel like a neck and
shoulder massage. They are good
natured and don't tense up unless
they are mistreated, and the size is
such that they can't choke you. |
|
| |
Who is this Dag? Bring him to me.
Plan to be home in the next day
and please be in a non resistant
manor. |
|
| |
The movie has it wrong, according
to the books the first rule is to
protect extraterrestrials from
humans. The third rule is to
protect humans from
extraterrestrials. |
|
| |
Presumably your 'non resistant manor' is a big house in the country with the front door wide open?
Croissant for the idea too! |
|
| |
[sartep] What's the second?
I am unsure about the idea, but would love to give it a try. Put me down for a session with a St. Bernard and a couple of hamsters....This doesn't make me wierd right? |

Bun for the title alone. Much better than mine. |
