Hello....

I got a couple of massages in the last month and the therapist said to me that I have tight hips. To me, her massages are painful and I cannot wait until they are done and over with... I won't be going back.

She is not the first one to have told me that I have tight hips; yoga instructors have told me that.

If these people leave me alone, I'm just fine and not in pain. But when they force me to do certain poses, move a certain way, it becomes painful, my hip sockets hurt, and my lower back hurts. If I am left alone... I'm fine.

Anyone else have this issue? And... what is the obsession with "tight hips"? Or is it just me?

I've never been flexible nor athletic, but I like walking and swimming. Am never in pain when I do those exercise. When I do yoga or pilates, it's usually at home watching a YouTube video and I can do what I want without having someone tell me about the dang tight hips.

It started to frustrate me... I need a new massage therapist...
