subject: Back Massage: Remedy Hurts More Effectively [print this page] Do you have kids? Do you have a car? A home? Go grocery shopping? You use your back, and you use it a lot! Over and over, you pick heavy things up - car seats, children, groceries, backpacks - to name but a few! Surely you feel a slight pain in your lower or upper back, perhaps your shoulder blades. Not only you, but your spouse probably has the same symptoms. You deserve a back massage. Have you ever had one? Do you know the benefits? I do. The benefits are so great and so numerous, and deal far beyond what you would expect.
Spas offer more than just a back massage, from fingers to toes, from back to head. We tend to neglect our backs, even we are always using them. They are used even more than our feet. While I have tried many different massages, and enjoy them all, I feel that a back massage is most beneficial.
A masseuse will help navigate you through the world of massage. There is a variety of options for you to choose from head to hand, from finger to toes! You may wear nothing but towels, but if unsure, you should keep your underwear on. My first massage was so great. My back felt so good, and it wasn't just a short relief. It is still great, even after a few weeks.
You and your spouse may both be feeling the same level of backache. This may lead to you feeling unsympathetic to him, and him discounting your gripes. Try talking with a girlfriend. She will understand. Who knows, she's probably had many a massage. My good friend describes a massage as getting away from it all, a vacation.
While modern medicine is great, it won't always get to the root of the problem. Massage is an ancient technique, which has been used through the ages to cure many ailments. With modern advances in medicine, massage became pass, a thing no longer needed. However, in the late 1990s (including the Olympic year in Atlanta) massage made a comeback and was considered a valuable medical service.
Massage can be used on any body part, but to me a back massage is the most suitable to my needs. After all, with three children, I am moving heavy car seats, carrying backpacks, and driving a lot.
As a parent, I instill in my girls the necessity of stretching and excercising. You would think I would lead by example. No, if I have great energy, I will clean out closets, take them to many classes, sit and watch. You ask,why not exercise when they are in class". Seems obvious - unless you have an obstinate child.
You say drop the kids off, walk, run, stretch". Have you ever tried to drop off a 6 yr old at a ballet class to watch her 9 and 8 year old sisters dance over a 2 hour period while she waits for her class? Maybe you've tried to run while a 6 year old whines about being too tired to keep up and throws a tantrum at the notion of a stroller or her bike. Not me, I sit and keep the peace. And that is why back massage works for me.
