A day out...

Hi @outlander,

I am another who finds a good massage fantastic. As @eth says, check the credentials of the masseur first. Then I ask for Swedish massage, which is not too hard on the pressure but is an all over relaxation massage. In fact I have just recently made the decision to invest in one of these every four weeks with a lovely Japanese masseur I found locally. She is awesome and my body feels better for the whole of the time in between. I've got one coming up on Thursday, can't wait!

Whatever you decide to do, I hope it's a wonderful and special day for you. ox

@eth whats the difference in sweedish massage, bamboo massage, remidial massage and relaxation massage?

and then there is body treatments?

Dry body brush?, sea salt body scrub?, clay body wrap?, cocoon?

@Mazarita soo many differnt sorts of massage therapies its so confusing!

im really happy you ahve found someone nice to do yours. ive had a massage a few times as a part of a treatment i ahd and it wasnt rrelaxing, it was quite painful

i love doing crafty things too @CheerBear

i hear you about the lack of energy urgh but i find sometimes if i jsut gt up and do it or already have the day planned like the appointments booked then im more likeley to actaully do them.

wow ive never heard of that sort of rug before! if i look it up on the net will it show me ?

what things have you got planned?

so far during the holidays ive just got three visits to the cincemas to watch cars 3, despicable me 3, and the new diary of a whimpy kid too. ive also organised for both of my sisters to have a lesson each but on separate days, a movie night as ive jsut ordered a heap of new movies so we can watch them as well. and my middle sister is planning a few things with friends too so im hoping these holidays go really fast.

@outlander, deep tissue massage can be very painful from my experience, and especially massage that involves 'myofascial release'. I had a massage with someone a while ago (a student) and ended up with bruises. It is important to specify that you want something relaxing if that's what you are after, and to specify the level of pressure (soft, medium, hard) you like. When it's good though, massage is totally fantastic.

Hi @CheerBear, good to see you online at the same time. Your crafty stuff sounds great for the chilly days. Hope today's a good one for you.

yeah i had that release as well @Mazarita it was part of the treatment i was having. i had to get chiroed and then they told me to go get a deep tissue massage to release the muscles deep within too and it wasnt fun but im alot better than what i was so i guess its done something for me.

haha @CheerBear we have sooo many muslces and you dont realise it until you use the ones you never knew you had haha. i can imagine you being a lizard under your heat lamp lol

hmm some of these packages are stating to look good

maybe i should put up a few of the packages avaliable and see what you guys think too?
