I had a much needed neck, shoulder and back massage earlier tonight.
7 months of not visiting my masseuse had led to me developing a bad tension strain running from the right side of my neck to my shoulder area. And this morning I woke with an ache down the left side of the spine.
I sheepishly went to see her after work today and she nagged at me for not going to her regularly enough.
Nagging aside, I'm mighty glad for her "iron fingers" for she ironed out some of the kinks in my back and shoulder muscles. There are still more knots to be undone in the tendons and muscles but I'll leave those to another session. 45mins of rubbing, kneading, pressing, pulling and poking is just about that much pain I can endure.
Yes, call me weak. Lol.
But I promised her I'll be back soon. For her to get my back into better shape and for her to get rid of the other knots in my back.
I walked home with a spring in my step after the session. Though painful, the massage was strangely invigorating. She said she applied pressure on my pressure points and acupoints to "release" the unwanted qi. I really felt lighter and like as if a burden had been lifted from my back.
I hope I sleep better tonight. :)
