Magneto statue - Bowen Designs - sculpted by Ray Villafane
Master of magnetism, perhaps. Master of the massage, less so. Magnotherapy still continues to pull people in. Sleeping awake or lying asleep on a bed of magnets is supposed to drain all sorts of "badness" from the system.
The new-old-new-age stress relieving world would have you out on a magnet made into table while getting a massage for the harder, tougher knots to unkink.
Of course, since you can't trust the magnets to tell you a lie, you can read into the type of massage you're getting. More specifically, the type of massage you shouldn't be getting.
- Flour power - They use a rolling pin to knead your back. After they've dusted a layer of flour and thrown you upon the kitchen table.
- One for you, one for me - The masseuse won't massage you unless you agree to massage them. And they insist on having their massage first.
- Money maker - Instead of charging you in dollar amounts, they request an item of clothing as payment.
Be careful of the type of people who choose to administer your massage. It's a thing of technique, of precision, of skill. If all else fails, visit a stall in the shopping centre or lost in a flea market.
For those who want to sample the (electro-)magnotherapy fun, try sleeping atop a television underneath an X-ray machine.
