I had my first massage ever today.

Posted on by

It was a chair massage.

I recommend it to everyone on the planet of Earth.

Wow.

    if you think the chair massage was great, you should try the REAL DEAL. got one for my birthday several years ago and now I dream of them daily. I try to get one each year on my birthday, but we don’t always have the $$$ to do it. I wish it was covered by insurance, and that everyone had to get massage at least once a month. I am convinced that the world would be a much happier and more productive place, SERIOUSLY. it’s preventative medicine, so to speak. don’t know about those back spasms though. that doesn’t sound too relaxing. I really don’t know what I’m talking about here, but are you drinking enough water? I do know that massage increases circulation and that water helps to carry oxygen to the muscles… I think spasms occur due to lack of oxygen getting to muscles… I am probably very wrong here, but maybe not. it’s worth a try. every time I’ve had a massage, they’ve always told me to drink lots of water before and after.

    Thank you *so* much for the tip. I am definitely going to try it, and we’ll see :)

    My back spasms went away that evening though, so that was cool–it was more of an annoyance than major however. it was on my left side, lower back.
