My Massage Therapist was a Slob

[*~*~Mommy of 2 TTC#3*~*~]

Made an appt with a new mt at the local massage clinic. The mt was obviously using another mt's office because his cards were displayed, his table was adjusted to accommodate him and not the 5'5" mt who was about to work on me. It was cold in the room and I asked him to adj the temp or use the heating pad on the table. He didnt seem to know what to do about the heat and the pad was news to him. I pointed out the control and he turned it on. Once he began the massage, he started asking me questions and this after I mentioned I would not be talking. Next, there was some kind of rustling around the table, he was distracted for a minute or two then continued the massage after he finished what he was doing. All in all a pretty decent massage. But , then I realized what he had been distracted with; his big size 11 hiking sandles that he removed and left strewn on the floor below me. Lucky for me, I tripped on just one of them.
What's the deal?

it sounds like he was really out of his element, and perhaps fresh in the business. it also sounds like he wasn't given the opportunity to get into the room previous to your service to prepare and familiarize. and that is partly his fault and partly the clinic's.

the questions were unnecessary if they weren't related to your service.

the sandals were in your sightline while prone. he should have put them elsewhere.

i hope your next massage is a better one.

How tall was the MT who worked on you?...is it the same "he"?

Wow, sounds like a fresh MT who was thrown into a room at the last minute.
Can you tell by his mannerisms after the massage that he know it was "off"?

Some would say that this is a great opportunity to educate someone about what happened. Idon't know that I would do that however, still ever so shy about discussing a bad massage with MT's.

Is this a new office for you?
Do you know the owner/mgr?

I'm sure they would want to know.
