Can’t believe I’m about to write this. Next time you get a massage, ask if they’ll be using meat cleaver. Seriously. Meat cleaver massages are a real thing.....and apparently, very popular.
That's where you lie down and a masseuse whacks your back with two dull meat cleavers over and over. Apparently it feels good and there's some spiritual "energy" stuff involved in the process. You have a towel over you, so it’s not blade on skin & the cleavers are dull.....BUT STILL! MEAT CLEAVER MASSAGES?!
The massages have been popular in Taiwan for quite a while, but lately, they've been popping up all over the world. The most popular spot for these massages in Taiwan says they've never had a client injured in their 40-year history.
