Most people going on vacation get a massage.

Massage is a very good way to relax, especially when you go on vacation.This is also customary in Thailand, where you can get a massage or spa treatments at minimal prices.

But always before you go for a massage, you should ask in advance what kind of massage you are offered.If you don’t ask this, maybe this turn of events will happen to you as this Australian couple.

Bali, Indonesia, is a popular destination for tourists from all over the world. This is not surprising, considering that this place looks like paradise and is also very cheap.

Candice Raison and her husband Matthew from South Australia spent six days in Bali when they decided to treat themselves to a massage.

But instead of a usual massage, Matthew found the next morning large red stripes all over his back.

The couple ordered a massage through an online application. The service includes the arrival of the masseur to the client – and Candice and her husband are too tired to leave.

But when it was Matthew’s turn to do a massage, the masseur suggested a different kind of massage to “pull the red dragon out of him.”

The couple didn’t understand what the masseur wanted to do, but they assumed it was some kind of prayer.

“I do not know what you are talking about, but my husband is ready to try anything, so go ahead!” Candice replied.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, she told how a woman began to engrave her husband’s body on a coin, telling them that there would be a red dragon tomorrow.

It is assumed that this type of treatment, known as “gu sha”, removes impure substances from muscle tissue.

Nurses do this by using stones or the coin side to scratch the patient’s back.From this procedure, quite terrible red marks remain on the body.

The next day, Matthew’s back was covered with red stripes, from the neck and then to the coccyx.

Despite the initial shock, Matthew still managed to smile.
“You could say we were all crying with laughter,” Candice said.

In recent years, Matthew has been working with heavy equipment that caused him severe back pain, but this massage really helped with chronic pain.

“Since then, he has never complained of back pain!”, – Candice said.

The coin did not damage the skin, despite the red marks, and five days after the massage, Matthew’s back returned to normal.

“The signs have almost completely disappeared.”

Everyone knows that regular massage is a really good for us body.But even though the situation with Matthew has returned to normal, it’s always worth figuring out in advance what you’re signing up for.If the massage therapist asks if you want a red dragon, perhaps you should think carefully before answering.Or maybe this is just what you need to get rid of back pain.
