Anybody use a massage therapist? I highly recommend it!

I had a really sore left shoulder with restricted range of motion -- very annoying. One of my members is a tiny Japanese lady who is a massage therapist, who just spent an hour turning me into a loose puddle of jelly.

She couldn't weigh more than 100 pounds but I was almost crying a few times from the pressure -- felt like a wrestler had me pinned. But I am feeling incredible relief right now. The woman is an artist... :D

Haven't said much here, but I've got some problem with my upper back and nerve in my right shoulder. Pinched nerve? Viral infection is the latest theory from the neurosurgeon.

Anyway, years ago I saw a massage therapist for upper back/neck pain. Guy was about 6'5", and had hands as big as my head! I thought, "Oh, yeah, this is gonna be good."

He nearly killed me. :lol: He did the "deep tissue" thing, and his thumbs felt like spikes, man. I had tears rolling down my face. I was so sore by the time he got through. I wound up seeing a chiropractor, who did help.

I have two neuromuscular therapists in my church. They do deep muscle therapy.

When the first one came to my church 10 years ago, I could barely walk because I had broken both feet in an accident with a ladder collapsing.

She saw me hobling around in church and said "pastor, come to my office,.I think I can fix your problem"....

She did.....and like Gary and dolfan, I cried....but I walk fine now. She gives me tune ups on a regular basis.....like tomorrow.....

She prays for her clients as she works on them without them even knowing it.....she has wonderful results.

She goes to recording sessions with Trace Adkins, Pam Tillis, Dolly, and several others to work on their neck and throat muscles during long recording sessions.

My daughter - in - law has scoliosis...Angie is a God send to her....

Yes I agree Gary......highly recommended.

I have a degree in massage therapy. Unfortunately, since I have RA, I can't do much with that degree.

Massages can do alot for your overall health and well-being. I'm glad you're feeling better PG.
