It was a Christmas gift from my parents in law.
I was apprehensive because I have a hard time with back massages. I find people touching my back, unless I know them very well, annoying and I have never had a back massage that I enjoyed. Now, none of those were by professionals, so I gamely went on (to my favourite spa) to have it done.
I also find it hard to relax, even though the atmosphere at the spa is well set up for that, whenever I go for a treatment. Quiet to me means time to think and I have a hard time shutting my brain off. I start to write my blog entry, I think about work I need to do, wonder what Adam is up to. This time was no different.
I also had a hard time when lying on my stomach, breathing through the head rest thing. I almost never lie on my stomach because I always feel like I can’t breathe, so it took me a few minutes to get through that.
The massage itself was, I guess, good. I have nothing to compare it to, obviously. But I still didn’t like how it felt on my back. I just don’t like it when people mess with my back. I loved the leg/foot/arm/hand part. And the scalp part was really weird since I’m used to having that done when my hair is wet! It was like my hair was crackling under her fingers!
Also this afternoon once at home I am stiffer than I have been in awhile.
So I am thinking massage is not for me.
Next time I’ll have a facial!
Sorry the massage didn’t work out. A facial sounds like a better idea. I love getting my hair washed for the head massage.
Massages don’t work for me either. Like mother like daughter!
I do not like people I do not know touching me-so nope no massages here either. Give me a pedicure though- and yes I know there is still touching involved but at least if they get fresh I can kick them right???
Perhaps it was the massur? I have had a couple and I find I prefer a firmer touch with lots of massage oil.
Also it depends how comfortable I am and how relaxed, I find that I have to be very relaxed and comfortable with my own body to enjoy a massage.
Try getting a recommendation for your next massage if you are still interested.
