Acupuncture anyone?

You find a good massage therapist they are golden!! You want deep tissue try a ashi massage that’s were they use there feet!

 

My Wife is a Massage Therapist (was, license lapsed) This aint no "Happy ending" massage, its deep tissue therapeutic and it can be rough. It takes a bit to work out the kinks, its not one and done.

 

I know, hence my weekly appointment. Went and saw her this morning.

 

I'm totally afraid of massages. I've got so many back and neck issues, chiropractors and massage therapists won't even touch me. Too much risk.

 

Last massage I got I was kind of laughing to myself partway through. My therapist was like what?

I told her I was just laying there thinking that the chances of a broken femur from a massage were small, but not zero.

This was the little girl who told me right off the bat that she could only do medium hard. She said she's not strong enough to do hard hard. I don't even want to know what hard hard is like.

 

Back to acupuncture. After my detached retina a year and a half ago my acupuncturist said we could work on eye points. The idea is it stimulates the nerves and improves blood flow around the eye.

At one point I saw her every week for twelve weeks. I felt like it significantly improved my vision. Sometimes I got gnarly black eyes. People would kind of stare but be afraid to ask what happened. That was fun. Now I just see her every so often for maintenance.

 

Ha, my wife's elbows are deadly!

 

. Looking forward to next weeks sessions of acupuncture and alignment !

 

It worked wonders on my hands.
But, go to one that has Chines writing on the sign.

My ex got me an appointment once with some new age place and all the guy did was put then needles in and then hook me up to a machine to flexx the muscles and left me for 45 minutes or so and then wanted a couple hundred bux.

 

No not that , dry needling and no shock shit
Long time no see hope all is good

 

I love dry needling. My chiro does that and she’s absolutely awesome. She’s a former powerlifter/bodybuilder acquaintance from WAAAY back. So it’s awesome for me because she first hand understands and knows my pains immediately and addresses them perfectly. I’m due for a tune up for sure

 

IAGSXR hey I didnt know you were a horror movie actor!

I really cant handle massages. Tried a few times. Im just not comfortable with strangers hands on me.

 

Then try a ashi where they put there feet on you

 

This is why I have to be at least moderately attracted to my massage therapist.

My normal girl was sick one time. She suggested I see a guy she worked with so I could keep my appointment. I noped out on that without hesitation.

 

I really only regularly had a stiff neck and lower back that would make me want a massage in the first place. Then I figured out that was caused by some meds.. I quit taking those and now its pretty rare I get a kink or anything that needs work.
