If people can afford to financially pay such money for massage, why not?. The question of the price of a massage in this case is subjective.
Seems like the worst time to get a massage to me. That has to be distracting and not relaxing.
I dont know and I am just speculating, but getting a massage while lets say making a big bluff wouldnt be easier to hide tells like tension and stuff instead of just sitting there still and getting xrayed?
By the way (just to relax, obviously), i remember of this therapeutic massagist for professional models. The guy says that still has to work on holidays and weekends, sometimes from 12 to 14 hours per day, and in addition, he ends up saying that he dreams of having a desk job, answering phone calls, working regular hours. It makes me think that this must be very boring.
