Ahhhh!

I will leave soon to get a massage this morning.

I discovered how amazing it is several years ago when I was working as a medical transcriptionist/bookkeeper for a medical office that included 8 busy general surgeons. I had worked so long and hard trying to keep up with things – working 12 to 14-hour days – that I was unable to take my blouse off over my head at night.

I went to the doc who recommended I continue my swimming and whirlpool at the local gym after work, but also to add massages. My insurance wouldn’t cover massages, but I decided I really needed help.

Long story short, the massage therapist saved my life. It took several weeks of two massages per week, but she unknotted my back and neck miraculously.

Even though I am working for myself now, I consider massage an important part of taking care of myself.

My therapist is having surgery next month, so it will be a character-building exercise for selfish me to wait until she is thoroughly healed (I think in March) and we can continue.

Massage is a wonderful gift you can give yourself to help you deal with the rest of your life without ending up with your body in a knot. :0)
