Have you ever had a professional massage?

i know i do. lol my b-day is not till dec. i may not last till then. lol

My birthday is in December too! Well..you need a belated birthday gift or even a halfway there gift!

You need one jo! When's your birthday? That needs to be your gift. You would love it..but drink a lot of water.

yes i'll ask there ...it really sounds strange

Check out response #4..she's the only one so far that's heard of it.

Your welcome Sunil. I thought it very strange. I have never had any symptoms but I do know someone who felt bad for about a week afterwards. It may depend on the amount of water you drink and how much of these toxins you've got built up. If you get alot of massages..you may not have any. Thanks for the response and be sure to ask you massage therapist.

LOL..you sue don't need one that makes you want to Kung fu anyone..lol...A woman has always done mine. Maybe you need a gentler touch. Thanks for the response.

ahaha that made my day

I believe they be there tomorrow I try to remember.

Oh missy..you need to sign up. It's great! Definately ask about that and tell me what they say. Only one other person on here has heard of it so far. Thanks for responding.

Yor welcome Shellyann! You should definately go have one. It is so relaxing. Take care and thanks for the response.

I love them too jimbo. I think I need to call and get an appointment. Thanks for responding.

Hi cream. I'm glad your over that flu. It is a terrible bug. You should go soon. You will love it. I have never had any bad side effects but I do always drink alot of water. Thanks for the response.

I like 30 mins deep tissue then 30 mins relaxation. It's a happy medium for me. I love them too. I bet the heating pad did help alot. Had you ever been told about the toxins I mentioned?

Have you had the acupuncture before? I haven't tried that. I would say it would be hard for you ro enjoy a massage. Take care.

Wow! That must have been wonderful to have a massage in the comfort of a beach house! I love having them..they are great. You really should get one. Anyone with boys needs a massage every now and again.lol..Thanks for the response and take care.

That's true Frederick. That's why I go to a health facility and not just any massage parlor. I went to just a random one once and the lady was really good at it but she talked the whole time. The next one was not so great but was silent. A friend I know that works at a gym told me about the place I go now. It's really nice.

No..not as much as I would like too. Usually just once or twice a year. They are expensive and I'm pretty busy all the time. I love to go though. You should give it a try.

Thanks but I don't know when I'd ever have the chance to come to China. I will keep that in mind though if I ever get to make the trip. Thanks for the response.

LOL..I will surely try and will call you to move me off the table.............You are welcome here and it will be a great pleasure seeing you here. dpk P.S. - Pl. check your profile page.

LOL..I like a good head rub too. You should try a massage my friend..If you got one I may have to fly to India to move you off the table though..lol..They are great. Thanks for the response and take care.

Good deal but you might have to move me off then because it would be my turn..LOL...does your wife have a strong enough back to get us both out of there?

I also go for the full hour and I snooze for another hour which is great for removing tensions. Cheers!!

Thanks

Hi underdogtoo. Thanks you for the response. How long do you suggest getting a massage for the best health results? Here there are 30 min and 1 hour choices. I usually go for the hour.

Thanks anyway cupid. If you ever get one you can let me know then.

U r welcome well some how i dont like Professional Massage

I had a professional food massage couple of times, well, I am not a regular taker of this massage but I had a injury on my foot, so went for it. And wonderfully my food improved dramatically after I did massage. Another few times I went for Foot Refexology massage, (in singapore massage shops are like pubs in UK, they every where). and I found why that massage is so popular. a 40 min massage will make you very much relaxed. This should be safer to, dont think anything is there on food which can bust etc. But the claim of flew seems strange and I haven't heard about it. May be you can do some internet search. If somebody says it causes flew they must provide the proof for that.

I thought it strange too. I never had any symptoms but I did drink alot of water because I was afraid. If you go alot all your toxins may already be released. Or maybe if you already drink alot of water. I don't know but it's interesting.

Good for you and thanks for the professional input! It is nice to hear these things from a professional. Alot of people don't know about thise and it's nice to be informed. I'll have to remember that body weight water ratio and try and practice that. Thanks again for the response.

I was also going to ask you..which is better for us healthwise..the one hour massage or the 30 min massage? Do you suggest deep tissue or relaxation and what's the difference in the two? Thanks in advance.

Healthwise i don't think the time frame matters. The massage therapist will have a routine for each time frame. If you have only one once in a while a believe an hour massage is more beneficial but if you go more frequently then 30 mins will do the same as you will have less toxins built up. As for the type of massage it varies. Firstly on your preference, some people can not tolerate to deep of a massage. A deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down the adhesions that can block circulation and cause pain and limit movement and inflammation. The RMT often uses direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscle. Conditions that Deep tissue massage can be used for are Chronic pain, limited movement, recovering from injuries, repetitive strain injury (carpal tunnel) postural problems, arthritis pain, fibromyalgia, muscle tension or spasms. Deep tissue massage is not for people who have open woundes, skin infections, right after surgery, chemo or radiation (unless recommended by doctor) People prone to blood clots, pregnant (unless recommended by doctor) and only done by someone certified in pregnancy massage, and should not be done directly over bruises, unhealed wounds hernias or recent fractures or breaks. A relaxation massage is a smooth rhythmic style that promotes general relaxation, improves circulation and range of movement and tension of the muslces. Its main function is to relax you. This can also be called a Swedish massage. A relaxation massage can shorten the recovery time of a muscular strain by flushing the toxins and lactic acid, and other wastes from the tissues. It increase circulation without adding to the hearts workload. It can stretch ligaments and tendons and stimulate skin and nervous system and soothe your nerves. It helps to reduce stress. Precautions with blood clots, post surgery, pregnancy, open wounds must be considered and should consult with a doctor. This is my personal suggestion but it is best to talk with you Massage therapist who will know you and your body. If you do not have an injury or chronic pain the a relaxation massage is more then likely the best option for you. You can talk with your RMT to incoporate deeper pressure into the routine. Make sure you communicate with your RMT, if something is uncomfortable or painful to much pressure make sure you tell them, everyone is different. I hope this helps, I am trying to condense some of the notes to give a general idea of each. There are differing opinions on how many types of massage there are.

Hi tali3sin! Wow..manhandeled huh? That's no good at all. Maybe you could just tell them to lighten up a little. I'm sure they would. Thanks for the response and tell them next time.

Oh I see..just relax then. Think of it as a doctor or a nurse. They are there to help you.

Oh, don't get me wrong Jen - they haven't been roughing me up. I just get a bit tense when it comes to bodily contact, in particular, from people I don't know.
