A Massage Therapist cum Pastor...

Acupuncture Needles

Cupping Treatment

"Tuina" (push and take) Massage

Some of you might know that I have long history of back ache since I was young (well, i'm still young now!) , I thought I should go for a treatment, a real chinese massage. So near by my house at Subang Jaya USJ8, I saw a small shop with lots of feet hanging on the front door, so I press the bell, "Ding Dong!". Then I saw a 40 years old looking man approaching the door to welcomed me, he was quite nice I thought. I entered the shop, there was a tea corner, lots of massage chair for foot massage, a karaoke TV and a nice looking chinese musical instrument Gu Zheng. He sat me down, shown me a catalog of available treatment for my sore back, there was no one in the shop at all. So I browse through the catalog, and he suggested a package including acupuncture, some back sucking tools treatment and a real chinese massage, and it's only cost RM90. So, I agreed.
First he asked me to wash my stinky feet, and he require me to stripped and lay down on the massage bed. (I forgot to put on my underwear today, I never put it on when I'm wearing jeans. ) So, instead he borrowed a pair of underwear for me and it's fit well. (ha ha....) He start the treatment by inject tiny acupuncture pins in my body, it was about 14 pins in total, felt like ants bite really. He said it's for regenerate my body energy, sort of like a recharge batteries as he put it. After a while lying there naked with pins all over my body, suddenly a flow of electrical flown through my body, and it's funny feeling.
After about 15 mins or so, he pulled out all the pins and rubs some kind of oils on my back, then he plugged the tiny sucker on my back, to sucked my meat in the tube and leave it there. (It was OUCH!!!) I think he plugged in about 15 to 20 suckers, it was real pain but it feels good once the pain subside.
So that was another 15 mins again, then he unplugged all the sucker things from my back and begins the massage process. He rubs his hands with some oils and start with my shoulders, he run his fingers through my muscle and bones, the force were so strong that I was aching with agony. (Ouch...aiyo....ouch ouch) He works through my whole body from head to toes, every inch of massages. After the whole process, my body felt a bit overworked and light weight, sort of like I could fly up with wings attached. (It's true!)
He sat me down again and asked me to fill in a forms with my personal details, then he asked where do I work. (Huh...how do you tell people that you are working in a Christian Organization??) So I was thinking of a better answer and said I was working in OM whom famous for her ships MV Doulos, then he stares at me with delight. (I was like ???) Then he gave me his name card with "Rev" as his position. (What!?) I was so surprised to know about his identity and a pastor running a massage center, that was odd I thought. (That's interesting!) Then we have chit chat about why I'm here and we talk much about singing and music, and he invited me to attend his church for Sunday service. That was his ministry to reach out to the community as he put it, I thought that was really cool, and I love the ideas with karaoke and tea corner to mingle with peoples. (No wonder his shop have such setup!) I will visit him again for another treatment after ten days......
