Results of my Swedish Massage

Hi All,

I thought I would post my experience after my massage.  I had a 1 hour swedish massage and it was wonderful.  I was so sleepy and relaxed I could barely do my last errand (grocery shopping) I couldn't wait to get home and lay down.  I slept really great that night and I was afraid I wouldn't she was working some of my trigger points in my shoulder and hips and I thought I would be in so much pain that night, but oddly enough I wasn't.  I was wondering if any of you have a recommendation for how often we should have a swedish massage to be beneficial for lyme.  They offer deals if you sign a 1 year contract.  Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks, KO

too cool

I tried a massage once but couln't relax because the therapist was blind and I felt guilty.

Wonder what a swedish massage is? I make hubby rub me out when I am in dire pain. I would just love to be as relaxed as you say but I would not go grocery shopping : )

I wonder if a community college that train masseuses ever gives them cheap. Imight check into it. Kudos!!! I am determined to try it.

I'd not go more than once a week for massage...it can lead to herxing because it mobilizes lymph and toxins. Also, it is not good to have other errands to do after the massage - you'll get more benefit if you can just relax for a while after the massage.

Also, be sure to drink plenty of water just before and for the rest of the day after the massage.

Swedish massage is a certain massage technique that is designed to be very relaxing and healing. My Mom is trained in this technique and I have gotten massages from her with good relaxation results (unfortunately, I cannot do the massages anymore due to problems lying down).
