Massages, just for the pros?

[TrekTheKaty]

I had one massage guy tell me I was the only un-massagable person he'd ever massaged. He kept moving me around, telling me to "relax"...I laughed and said that I was as relaxed as I got! I am a COP! We don't relax. I wrote it off to a bad massage guy....but I didn't get around to getting another for several years, before my Defensive Tactics week at the academy (or "hell week" which ends with getting the crap beat out of me) and the guy there said, "wow, you are really hard to massage."
So I don't do it very often.

I also found it hard to relax while mostly naked in front of a stranger, wondering what they are going to touch next! Since I like a deep massage, I focus on my yoga breathing-- and it does take me awhile to relax. I'm a cheap skate, so I try to convince myself to relax so I get my money's worth

I see a chiropractor once a month, and a massage can stretch that out for me--so it would probably pay for itself it I did it regularly.
