"I could break you."

I should have known that I was in for it on Friday when I had a new massage therapist who was clearly born an Amazon.  These are the things she said to me during the session:

• "You remind me of another client I have who was in a car accident. I've worked on her for six months."
• "If we work on this long enough I'm sure I could break you."
• "My grandfather was a massage therapist when they could still use tools.  He modified an industrial floor sander that I wish I could use on you."

By the end of my 90 minutes I could tell she was exhausted, and that I'd feel amazing.  And I did, for about three hours.  But I think she must have bruised me a wee bit after I found myself shrieking when The Historian dared lay a single gentle hand on my back.  

It was worth it, but I think I'll start drinking more water like my sister (also a massage therapist) tells me to.  Looking forward to her telling me "I told you so."
