Yes it has been a regular part of my life.
Massage is one of the great things in life.

I have for a back injury and I found that it felt terrific while I was having it and for about an hour later but then I was back to square one.

Yes. From Ayurvedic Masseurs. They use medicated herbal oil for the massage. Excellent cures guaranteed if the masseur is an expert in his profession.

I did once several years ago when I had some really bad back pains.
A shipmate told me his wife was a licensed massage therapist and told me to come over and have her work my back over. I wasn't comfortable with the idea... I'd never had a massage before and it seemed a little 'intimate' to me to be having some other guy's wife doing that.
But the back pain got bad enough I finally took him up on his offer.
And was I ever glad! When she was done, the pain was GONE!
If I ever have that kind of back pain again, I'm going to look into another massage!

As i have the seocnd degree in Reiki and i hopefully can try with good intention for the injuries and general pain even the person is far away from me .

Yes I have, deep tissue, primarily for my back but have had the full body treatment as well. It was major pain when they got to the trigger spots, and for a day after I felt like I had been beaten up by a gorilla. But the day after that, I could do cartwheels down the street and felt like a new man. It was amazing how good I felt. :)

yep, and i ended up with bruises all over me :P
by miteb on August 29th, 2009
Yes. I find the atmosphere/quietness most relaxing. This is not for injuries, but aches and pains.
by intothesun00 on August 29th, 2009
Unfortunately injuries. But, also for general fatigue from exercise. It's much more enjoyable (and I think effective) to use a hot shower or sauna first.

I am undergoing Physical Therapy (massage and manipulation) currently for an IT band injury with my left leg. I have used massage therapy for injuries for at least 8 years on and off. +5
I have also had Rolfing message on occasion for general aches and pains.
by pedal junky on August 29th, 2009
yes i have and i loved it.when it was really good it was almost outer body for me.
by Zack on August 29th, 2009
I just can't get into something like that no matter how tight I may feel. In some funny way, it makes me feel so lazy.
by -Icy- on August 29th, 2009
yes i was forced to do it and it hurt like heck. +5
by RosieGHM Jetpacker on August 30th, 2009
No. I have never had a professional massage in my life. Tell you the truth they sound extremely painful to me. Are they? Happy Sunday! :) ((hugs))
by Rollie on August 29th, 2009
Nope. My wife has and likes it.

Only one massage that I enjoy...
by Galeanda on October 8th, 2009
I've gotten massage therapies for many years, for all sorts of reasons. For 3-4 years, it was one of the things that kept me ahead of my back pain and able to face each day. I've relieved headaches and sinus pressure with it, It's helped depression and anxieties, lots of things.

I have just purchased a one year contract at a massage therapist parlor and have yet to have the first session. I have been to a Chiropractor but his techniques of neck popping, back popping, shoulder cranking, knee twisting scare me to death!
by Anonymous on September 1st, 2009
Yeah, sometimes when I got back from home from a hard training I got my gf to rub me with cream and oil.
by leeks5229 on August 31st, 2009
Yes, I tried. The massage therapy was good but the pain was unbearable.
by Jane on August 30th, 2009
yes, I have. My neck and back hurt, often. I love getting a massage to alleviate the pain and tension
by Gone on August 30th, 2009
No. People seem to like massage therapy. IDK perhaps
I could learn to like it. Used to have a problem
of being able to stay in one place for too long, just couldn't do it. But now maybe!!
by Chicago Lady on August 30th, 2009
Yes, and it helped.

by josie III on August 30th, 2009
Yes. It is an important thing to do, aches and pains or not.
by DukeG on August 30th, 2009
No it freaks me out. I don't like to be touched from behind. I could never relax. Its a reflex from work, I don't like to stand where there is anyone behind me either. If you come up behind me and grab me without telling me your coming you may end up with a quick elbow or a black eye.
by Cotton 201 on August 30th, 2009
yes, and done correctly, it HURTS...you are very sore the next day. Once was enough for me! +5
