Looking after our well being

Bimby2Senior Contributor

Looking after our well being

Today I had the good fortune to have a theraputic massage due to sciatic-nerve back problems. The

added good fortune to also have facial. Feeling somewhat down beforehand, this massage therapy played

a great part in lifting my morale apart from easing sciatic nerve pain. We feel as though we are indulging

ourselves with this therapy but it is in looking after our physical well-being that we also enhance our mental

health well-being status. Bimby2

Re: Looking after our well being

Couldn't agree with you more @Bimby2 !

We need to take care of our overall physical health and wellbeing for our mental health to follow suit.

Glad you enjoyed your massage 🙂

Re: Looking after our well being

I so wish I could have a massage @Bimby2. Hope it helped your back pain. I am sore all over and would love to have one.

And a facial as well, that must have felt beautiful!! I find that having a massage whether it's body or facial is therapy. I find that I can relax and I feel so good afterwards.

I used to have accupuncture done every fortnight which was so relaxing for me but unfortuantely finances are not that great at the moment so I have had to cut that back. Don't know when i can go back. Oh well. that's how it is sometimes.

take care, hope your back is okay.
