I only took massages before and after I do a marathon, just to condition my body and alleviate the pain. Anyway, it's been years, what kind of massages have you tried?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.thepuresalonspa.com/san-diego-spa-menu" rel="nofollow">--Stela Dimitrov--</a>Stela Dimitrovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08813881438474858788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19163408.post-23914052572649929032007-09-18T22:07:00.000-07:002007-09-18T22:07:00.000-07:00I guess I am the lone man (woman) out.

It is just hard for me to sit still that long and I get antsy. :-)<BR/><BR/>That being said, I have LOVED acupuncture!! I usually fall asleep during it because I am so relaxed. Plus, it is my own personal experiment right now.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I just haven't tried the right variety of massage. I will let you know after St. George. Suzie, let's go get one right after, okay? <BR/><BR/>Enjoy your Columbus Day massages!Kelly(M&M)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10667877708280021302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19163408.post-42459215286868916952007-09-18T17:19:00.000-07:002007-09-18T17:19:00.000-07:00Oh how I adore a massage.

My most recent massage was at our hotel in Mexico. This sweet little woman, about 4 ft 11 inches tall, walked into the room and I thought 'there is no way she can give a good massage'. Boy did she prove me wrong.... it was amazing! <BR/><BR/>Columbus Day massages for all of us!Chellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14913067924030367632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19163408.post-6631254017158621032007-09-18T13:30:00.000-07:002007-09-18T13:30:00.000-07:00Oops!

I had a deep tissue the day after running Napa and it was wonderful. It was uncomfortable at times (okay, it hurt) but the next day it was as if I hadn't even run a marathon! Seriously. She worked out all my tightness and soreness - it was unbelievable how good I felt! I now swear by them.<BR/><BR/>What kinds have I had? Deep tissue, hot stone, the Swedish, a "rain massage" that was incredibly relaxing... Last month while on vacation I sent my husband in for a massage and he loved it. It was his first and he now understands how wonderful they are!<BR/><BR/>Gosh... 18 months since my last one? I'm definitely due for a massage.<BR/><BR/>And Polliwog - my neighbor is 26 months pregnant and just enjoyed a prenatal massage last week. I never had one while pregnant but she said it was really, really wonderful.cherlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06385659910370689653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19163408.post-13068546860768809242007-09-17T22:02:00.000-07:002007-09-17T22:02:00.000-07:00I actually have gotten headaches after a massage. ...I actually have gotten headaches after a massage. But I'm always so tense - it's no wonder.<BR/><BR/>Also...just a though: see if there are any massage schools near where you live.

As is, I get one about once a year... usually for my birthday. I love the relaxing, traditional-type "Swedish" massage which is supposed to just be relaxing. No deep tissue work, though I'd like to try that sometime. I am always amazed how something so relaxing can actually make my muscles sore the next day. You are supposed to drink a lot of water to minimize that effect. Anyone else had that experience?Suzie Petuniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13387520367654400467noreply@blogger.com
