My new ocupational therapist wants to try it on Monday. I'm afraid that it will cause a lot more pain. My husband rubs my back gently & that helps but this lady says that I need a deep tissue massage to relieve my severe muscle spasms. I don't want to make things worse. Thanks

If you don't feel comfortable with what she is wanting to do, tell her "NO". Remember, it is your body. But ask her first. Find out if it is the trigger points she wants to massage, or the muscles themselves. Serenity

But, sometimes my muscles do respond by tightening up. When that happens, I ask the one massaging me to stop. And please, call me Serenity. Yes, I am ordained, but don't use my title much. Just had to use it for these boards since Serenity was already taken. Serenity

I went on a 4 day/3 night cruise to Ensenada, Mexico this past weekend, and decided that I was going to spoil myself this time. I went to the Spa on the ship and had what they called a "Hot Stone" massage. It is just what it sounds like, they use hot stones to massage you, changing out the stones when they cool down, so the stones are always hot. Gotta tell you, it was the best massage I have ever had. I actually felt almost pain-free for several hours afterwards. Unbelievable! I deserve to be spoiled once in a while, as we all are, and I am so glad that I worked up the nerve to really do it. I'm gonna have to spoil myself more often if it makes me feel as good as this one did. Tribblepuppy

I also felt almost pain free for a few hours afterwards. It was wonderful. I am trying to find a massage therapist in my new area now that will accept a prescription, so my insurance pays for the massage. So far, no luck other than at Physical Rehab places, and they don't do the same type of massage. Have any of you ever had an ice massage? Someone suggested that to me once, but I declined, not knowing what effect it might have. Maybe it would reduce the spasm, because of freezing the nerve that was sending the signal, but I'm not sure. Any knowledge about this treatment? Serenity
