Massage

Well I had a first yesterday- I got my first massage! I was not sure what to expect going into it since I had never had one before. It was 'almost' exactly what I was envisioning.

 I enjoyed the music that was on- it was very relaxing. I was by myself for a few minutes and was really taking in the nice aromas and music, then in comes the massager- my relaxation ended right there. Not that she wasn't doing what she needed to do- because she really was and I am so pleased with the results and the massage itself. But I was not really happy about the constant talking that she did. I felt like I was at the hair salon- learning about so and so's problems and all the info that I didn't care to know about some of her fellow workers. I mean this lady had no idea who I was or who I knew in the community and she felt so comfortable spilling info about other people. This person obviously does not follow the confidentiality that she should. Other than all that- I was very pleased.

The woman really knows what she is doing. She is more of a clinical massuse (sp?) not really a pampering one. But I was there to get something fixed not to be pampered. She really tore me up- there were quite a few times where I just had to think about other things so I wouldn't yell at her to stop. I had many problem areas and she found them all. I am pretty sore today and I do have actual bruises. But guess what- my lower back and hips feel 900 times better. I am just expecting them to get even better over the next day or so as my bruises heal. I was happy that she also showed me some stretches, etc that I could do to help my back and hips out if they start hurting again. I was not expecting that but am very grateful for the information.

So all in all- I enjoyed getting my first massage. I really want to get a more pampering one a couple times before baby comes in April, but we will have to see. I am just not sure if I want to return to the same place- hehe.
