Massages
Which one hits the spot?
You’ve been there before. Paint a more detailed picture, scenario,
You’re aching from your head to your toes
Everything hurts and you’re not even trying to sit on the toilet.
You can just be laying down and that too hurts.
Trying to take one step in front of the other feels like your feet weigh 1000 lbs each.
So you conclude “I need a massage”.
So you go to the massage place on the corner. You go to your girl Lilli, or Kim, or May and you tell them ugh everything hurts, go hard.
And they do. Elbows, knees, and fingertips that feel like daggers dig into the knots on your shoulders, hips, and back. They climb in the table over you as their knee travels down your spine.
So much so 30 years of trauma come flowing down your eyes.
They stretch you a little to relieve a little of the pain and bring you safely back home.
You feel great in the moment, the next day, and maybe the one after.
But that knot in your shoulder blade? Oh it’s still there and it just waiting to rear its head again.
So what happened?
Did Lilly not do a good job this time? Did she not go hard enough, deep enough, or did you not explain exactly what you needed with enough detail.
Negative.
Everyone did their part.
It just wasn’t the medicine you needed.
It wasn’t the massage you needed.
It wasn’t the method you needed.
For years we’ve been visiting spa parlors handing over our bodies in the name of self care assuming a massage was all emcompassing. That it was the one size fits all. The magic pill to our pain. But our aches and pains are not just product of tired muscles or an overworked body.
Like everything else it’s much more layered than that.
And for each layer there’s a solution.
From acupressure to lymphatic drainage, there are a ton of massages to use to ease our pain. Which one is right for you?
