Today Wakana and I went to get massages at her usual place. Instead of the type we got at Kenko we got an oiled shiatsu massage. It was much different. The masseuse pushed deeper into the muscles. At times it was painful but I sure feel good now.

You need to imagine this. The masseuse was a small Chinese woman. If she weighed more than 100 pounds I'll eat my hat. I stand at 6'3" and weigh in now at about 360 pounds. I must have been a daunting prospect for her but she was game. At one point she walked on my back. She used more than her hands. She knelt on my legs, jammed her elbow into pressure points on my shoulders and used her forearms on my arms and calves. She pushed and pummeled and worked her way through the hour. It was great. Now I am somewhat slippery but I feel fine.
