Handy Man

Magic Hands Workshop

Your well-meaning boyfriend/girlfriend/
friend-with-benefits is good at many things, but massages are not one of them. (Dude, lighten up on the Vulcan death grip.)

Before you suffer a not-so-sexy spinal injury, direct all wackass fingers to Magic Hands, a professional massage workshop offered at Fusion, starting tomorrow from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

In two two-and-a-half-hour sessions, you’ll practice massage therapy (on each other) under the watchful eye of instructor Jesse Frank.

You’ll learn proper techniques for administering Swedish massage (with elements of shiatsu). And in the process, you’ll figure out how much pressure to apply (and when), how to look for tension, and what moves your fingers need to know.

That’s the basic rubdown. Make sure you book your session now.

You might find it’s the only way to save your neck.

Available at Fusion, 105 South 12th Street, mezzanine level (215-733-0633 or fusioncrosstraining.com).
