A 23-year-old college student in Pennsylvania says a trip to the spa for a massage left her in the hospital with a serious neck injury. The student, who posted on Reddit, shared her story in the subreddit r/legaladvice under the title “Went in for a massage and now I’m in the hospital.” The post has since been deleted.
According to The Nerd Stash, she said she had gotten Swedish massages before, but this one wasn’t like the others. “This massage was completely different,” she reportedly wrote in her post. According to her account, the massage therapist used more force than she was used to and performed a neck-jerking move on her, a technique that has drawn attention online for being risky.
