I fear I will not survive one more therapeutic massage...

[ScreamingMeemie]

I am like slime...oozing over this chair... My fingers are so relaxed they can barely stay straight enough to type.

If you looked up relaxed in the dictionary there would be a picture of me.

I can't believe I was worried about taking my clothes off...what a prude. I'd lay naked in the street for this... almost.

1. I'm DYING for another one of those suckers.

My neck is absolutely killing me and I would love to find the time to get one.

A spa here right around the corner, actually, has a fabulous masseuse, but I haven't had the time.

:hi: Mrs. G! How are you?

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. I am being spoiled with two a week after physical therapy.

Paid for by insurance even! How cracked is that?

I'm good. It's Wonderful to see you! :hug:

2. I will not survive one more physical therapy treatment...

But I have an appt. in an hour. Electric burning sensations in my legs for 20 minutes. Ah yes....we have the technology.

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. The bad part is that I have physical therapy for an hour before hand

so I'm about dead by the time I crawl up on the table. The electric blanket heated table...sigh...

[zanne]

12. Ooooooooooooooh. That sounds like heaven. nt

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. I think you deserve to treat yourself.

Actually, I think everyone here deserves it after the last 6 and a half years. :hi:

Get one zanne. A lot of places that specialize in massage therapy have very good introductory rates.

[LaraMN]

3. I've never had a *real* massage.

So I think you should get an extra one, for me. :D

[Midlodemocrat]

6. You HAVE to treat yourself to one.

When we go on vacation, a spa nearby is an absolute must for me. Just that 50 minutes of pure relaxation is absolutely coma inducing.

[LaraMN]

18. Maybe I'll wait a while and buy myself one

when I graduate from college. That seems like an appropriate way to celebrate all the work I will have done!

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. I think you should get one Lara.

Us moms need these things every once in awhile. You wouldn't believe how great it feels. :hi:

[LaraMN]

20. Do they touch your butt?

Not that I'm entirely opposed to a butt massage...
:rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

22. Some do, but if you tell them not to they won't.

This older woman came in after me and shouted,"No GLUTES!" :D

[Midlodemocrat]

24. The real kicker is the foot massage.

Heaven, pure Heaven.

[crispini]

4. Try going to ninety minutes of yoga and THEN going to massage.

I swear, I come out of the massage room completely unable to THINK. I mean, practically drooling. The gal at the front desk regularly asks me, "Are you okay?" :rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

10. For me it's an hour of stupid, painful physical therapy...consisting

of the therapist yanking my head, neck, back and arms into various (feel the stretch?) postions. :D

[sakabatou]

5. Usually I just use heat or accupressure for myself.

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. That's what I do. I slap a ton of salon pas on but the muscle tension

was pulling everything out of whack...and it was covered by insurance. I was stunned.

[skygazer]

14. Hey, why don't I get a massage after physical therapy?

:grr:

I have a PT appointment this morning - mine consists of doing a whole bunch of exercises designed by people who took lessons from the Spanish Inquisition and after working myself into a major sweat and having every muscle in my body twitching, I get to lay on a(n) (unheated) table where they put electrodes and ice on my knee.

I'm gettin' gypped here. :wtf:

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. I think you are too...

:hug:

Go for a shoulder/neck combo injury next time. :hug: That sounds totally sucky.

[Little Wing]

16. I've never had one

:sadfucksmilie:

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. You need to get one.

Honestly.

I was amazed at the good it does and how the therapists finds knotted up muscles that I didn't even know I had.

[Little Wing]

19. I've actually considered taking some real courses on the subject

to get really good at it.

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. My father's girlfriend is going to school to get certified.

I can't wait. It is a skill.

[bridgit]

21. LOL...

"I'd lay naked in the street for this... almost" :thumbsup: :rofl:

[AngryAmish]

25. My ex-girlfriend was a therapeutic masseuse

I know exactly how you feel. The first time my forearms were worked over was amazing.

Alas we broke up and she fled the jurisdiction...
