Going for a massage.

If you have found a good therapist then it could be a good experience. It may or may not help you back, depends on the problem. It will relax the muscles and rid the body of toxins so be sure to drink more water for a few days. A good therapist will want a doctors report on your back before they do something that could do more harm than good. But as your insurance is covering this then I am sure that that has been done. I found a man in Midland Texas that was wonderful but Paul is still in Midland and teaches meaasage through a school out of Austin. I wish you the best of luck. Know that it can take more than one to stop the pain as the body will reset itself because your accident was several years ago, be prepare to go several times, and relax and enjoy. If they offer to "center" you then you have found one of the best in the business, and if they move their hand away and mention it burning or stinging them make another appointment (again this means that they are one of the best as long as you know that it is an extension of the area you are havinf a problem with) with me it was my right hip which was an extension from the area in my back that had bothered me for years. Good luck and God bless.

I have never had a proffesional massage before. I really want one thought. I hold all my stress in my back. That is one of the things I hate about living on my own. No family or friends near by to give me a back rub. When my mom and sis come to visit Im alwaying asking for a massage.

I hope that you had a wonderful massage and that it helps your back. I just started getting massages a couple years ago and they are wonderful. I wish that I had gotten massages a long time ago. They feel really good and helps relieve stress and help your body feel better. There are various types of massages like swedish massage, deep tissue massage and some others ones. Unfortunately, my insurance does not cover massages so I am not able to afford to do them frequently.

Hi saundyl! I hope that you enjoy your massage! I have had a few in my time and hated them! I also worked for a chiropractor and hated those massages too! I just don't especially like anyone touching me that I don't know, I think! A massage is relaxing if you let yourself be relaxed so you probably will enjoy it! The ones that I had were a bit too rough for me! I am very sensitive! lol I think that you will probably come back and say that it was heavenly! Please let us know what you thought about it! Everyone has a different take on them and most people love them! I am the oddball so don't go by me! Enjoy and relax!

I get massages on a regular basis. I get 'em at least thrice in a month. I sometimes go to the Spa, but when I'm too tired and I just want to go sleep right after the massage, I avail of Home Service Massage. It is pretty popular here in my country.

Your insurance pays for massages? Nice! Take advantage of it. I, for 1, only have massages once a month and sometimes every other month. It gets rids of stress and helps you rejuvenate.

One year my husband gave me a gift certificate for one at a local salon, and I was so nervous about it it took me three months to decide to use it. I spoke to a lady when I booked and then was totally shocked when the masseuse turned out to be a masseur. It was cool, he made me feel very comfortable and we talked about a lot of stuff. I cannot tell you all about massages, but this one was good, with a little aroma therapy going on and some awesome music and candles and a very nice person making me feel good. I have lots of friends who do this regularly.

Massage is good for your health...both body and mind. There are many kinds of massage...Swedish (mostly just relaxation), deep tissue (working out the 'knots,' or muscle spasms), Shiatsu, Thai Massage, and more. I am a massage therapist, and I like the deep tissue the best. I like that kind mainly because I feel sooooo much better after the knots are worked out of my back and shoulders. I suggest, since it is your 1st time, make sure you communicate with the therapist and tell him or her if they are working your muscles too hard or too soft. There is no way they can know without feedback from you. I hope your massage is a good experience for you!!!

I once went for a foot massage at Oasis Mall at Dubai. The person there gave me a professional massage. I was experiencing pain in my heels. It had turned unbearable. Just thirty minutes massage had me back on my feet. He recommended that I must ferment my heels in warm water with little Epsom salt added to it. I did that and I was fine.
