I’d never heard of this one before. Seems a little odd to me, but I guess it’s not really any stranger than Venik/Platza used in Russian baths or getting your back walked on.
Hm...I’ll stick to shiatsu.

It looks like Gua Sha, or Graston Technique.
Too bad Lorena Bobbitt’s attorney didn’t know about this. He could have used it in her defense.
Well, I suppose if one wanted to stay sharp, but frankly I don’t get the point.
I’m afraid to ask but will anyway....
Does it finish with an “happy ending”
Sounds great. Right after I finish this plate of Fugu, I’ll run on over to the parlor while carrying scissors and a backpack full of nitroglycerin.
After Cindy Sui gets a massage like this, is she Chop Sui?
I’ll have a “Soapy” instead.
