Non-sexy massage therapy

[lisah]

I have an inflammatory disease and I take advantage of therapeutic massage when things get very bad. It helped a lot when I was having awful back and hip pain, to the point of having limited mobility. It took about two months, once or twice a week.

The only downfall is if I get an overly chatty therapist. Conversation interferes with my ability to relax.

The first deep tissue massage I ever had was quite the experience. No one warned me about the need to drink plenty of water to help flush the toxins released by the massage. After the session, I had a 45 minute drive to get home and felt like I'd been drugged. I was in real danger of driving off the road.
