Imagine being a masseuse at Google and, after years of massaging employees, you cash in your stock for millions. I smell a tell all book coming called “Kneading Nerds For Millions.” :D

She was offered the part-time job, which started out at $450 a week but included a pile of Google stock options that she figured might never be worth a penny. After five years of kneading engineers' backs, Brown retired, cashing in most of her stock options, which were worth millions of dollars.

Did you hear that? I heard lots of applications being filled out to fill in that vacant position.
 
Good to see the little guy come out ahead instead of the crappy CEOs.
 
Yeah, those number crunchers are known for aching backs and knotty muscles. Not like those construction workers or sewer cleaners.
 
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but computer users actually ARE well known for having bad neck and upper back problems, due to the improper posture that they hold for long durations.

In fact, if you work physically (such as construction or what have you) your muscles are probably in better shape than someone who sits around all day, eh?

Doubt it. Irregular posture versus operating a jackhammer? I'm no doctor, but I'm still siding with manual labor, where you've got constant bending and heavy lifting Unless your back is already messed up, you should be able to sit with a healthy posture.
 
well, IAMAMP (i am not a massage practitioner) but my girlfriend is, and there are a lot of people around here who suffere from "microsoft syndrome" as they call it (she operates out of Bellevue, WA, a stones-throw from Redmond) where there are a specific set of symptoms that come from typing.

Don't get me wrong, i think everyone should get massage. I've made it a part of my own health regimen and it works wonders...not only for my shoulders and neck that are always tight from sitting at a keyboard, but also my legs/knees/ankles for the damage i deal to them from soccer. So yes, people who type need them, as do construction workers.
 
I was inferring that manual labor workers need massages more, not necessarily that office employees don't need them at all. Everyone should get them, but damn can they be expensive.

yes, yes they can :(

However, most people don't realize that their insurance (if they are lucky enough to have it) will cover massage, usually without even requiring a doctors note or anything else from their PCP.

I'm just a shill for my gf, i admit freely :)

I agree. During college I spent my summers doing manual labor as a plant maintenance worker. 8+ hours of being on my feet on a concrete floor doing physical labor makes for a pretty weary body at the end of the day. Not that sitting at a computer all day doesn't warrant a massage but I know after alot of those days in the summer I could really have used some massage goodness.
