You observe theapists at an event doing seated chair massages and think "ooh bad body mechanics". It normally looks like a company that teaches the girls how to do a 5-10 minute head & back massage treatment.

You look at peoples posture as they walk and try to work out which muscles may be short and tight depending on how they are walking.

Please continue....

You're sitting in your car at a red light and a fit bloke runs past and you admire his muscles, naming them as he goes by ...

You have to trim your fingernails at least once a week.

When you're in the pub with friends and they start asking you about "this pain they've been having recently in their back/neck/shoulder/hip/knee" and what they can do about it... 😀

you're on holiday relaxing on sunbed/or a party and someone plonks their unwashed feet in your lap and says 'massage those' as though you're an archaeologist and they're placing an ancient amulet under your nose

This actually happened - but it was me making the call! I had been sleeping, and as I woke up I sneezed quite dramatically and felt my back 'go'. I was 12 months pregnant (well, it felt like it!) at the time, alone in the house - husband based in the Middle East. Telephone downstairs. (Pre mobiles!) Nearest neighbour 500m up the road.... It took me 45 minutes to get to the top of the stairs, on my hands and knees. Sadly, I never made it to the loo. I lowered myself down the stairs to the phone, which I had to pull off the table in the hall. I called my closest neighbour, then rang for the doctor. My neighbour just happened to be a retired midwife, and after she had got into the house with her spare key, she simply sat on the floor beside me and massaged my back until the doctor arrived. It was bliss. My GP also does acupuncture, and luckily had some needles with him. 25 minutes later you would have wondered what the fuss was about - once they got me off the floor I was fine - and was able to clean myself up and get on with the day! Healthy baby girl born the following week!

You arrive home from a busy day massaging clients and guess what one of the family asks for a massage - A busman's holiday?
