@Blueowl sorry nobody replied to this yet, I must have missed it.

Re tight hips…. Yes I’ve been told this too, along with my hamstrings, I run so it’s probably contributed to tightness and in my case may have caused a few injuries/niggles. Having said that I’m doing okay and a fairly active person like yourself so I’m guessing neither of us have anything to really worry about.

Yeah, definitely do tell any massage therapist if they force movement that causes pain. In my experience forcing a pose definitely can cause an issue. If she persists yes you might be better getting a different one.
