A massage before heading out on a family visit

I just got back from having a neuro-muscular massage to try to address soreness in one arm, etc. This is different from a traditional Swedish massage as this therapy focuses on using pressure on trigger points to relax muscles, increase blood flow, reduce soreness and possibly increase range of motion. Overall I liked it although it was a bit painful at times. I certainly will do it again. The therapist even showed me a new stretching exercise to help the specific problem I am experiencing.

Other than that, we are just getting ready to head off for while on a family visit trip.

Updates when we get back.

  2. I have often wondered about various message techniques. In a book I just recently read they doctor said that messaging the lymph nodes was helpful. Wow, I just could not even feature that. But a good message therapist would be able to do that don't you think.

Last year Coco the dog ignored the minimal Christmas decorations and the wrapped presents we put on the hearth. This year? Well there is now...
