Getting a Massage
Robert: Why are you Twisting your back like that?
Staci: I’m in pain. My back and shoulders really hurt. I think it’s from sitting at this computer all the time.
Robert: What you need is a good Massage. It can get rid of the Knots in your Muscles and get you some Pain relief.
Staci: I don’t know. I don’t like the idea of getting Naked in front of a stranger.
Robert: If you’re Skittish about that, remember that you’ll be covered with a sheet, except for the part that he or she is working on. It’s not a big deal.
Staci: But what if they’re too Rough with me? It might make things worse.
Robert: An experienced Massage therapist will ask you the amount of Pressure you want and you can Speak up if you don’t like what he or she is doing.
Staci: Do you think a massage could really help me?
Robert: Definitely. I recommend my massage therapist. She’s Licensed and very good.
Staci: She doesn’t use Smelly oils or play Hokey music during the massage, does she?
Robert: No, she doesn’t. She’s very professional, without being too Clinical, If you know what I mean. Call her!
Staci: I’ll think about it – ouch!
Robert: Call her right now. You Don’t have a minute to lose!
