I pay my daughter to massage my feet quite often...its a bargain and well worth it.

*legs it into thread*
sports massage..!
*legs it back out*

i just had a text massage does that count..?

ahhh, hot stones is magic!  Thai compress massage is nice too

Oh never tried that slinki.

I hate people touching my feet, i nearly died squirming with ticklishness when she was rubbing stones on the soles of my feet today.

*goes to check text massage*

I wasn't sure what she would do with the stones. I assumed she would place them on me and leave the heat to penetrate or something, like you see on the pictures, all lined up the spine. But instead she used the stones to massage instead of her hands, it was brill and very soothing.

Oh i thought that as well.

I will look into it, see what are done with the stones... makes me want to go stone picking at the coast .. might use a few for massage as well.

Year after year the majority of Big Brother contestants were good at massage.
Well they weren't actually good - they just pretended they were.
It was an excuse to.......well, you know.
Sorry Gypsie~   -  back on topic.

2 of my friends took me for a spa day before my wedding..   I loved getting to mooch around in fluffy dressing gown & slippers, I loved the waiter service poolside...  loved the pedicure, the manicure, the champagne lunch,...    then came the massage..  

I was a bit gutted..   I got this young whipper snapper of a lad...  we didn't bond.   I must have been the most tensed customer he had ever had...   I was rigid..   when he then dimmed the lights & left me alone (presumable to doze or something), I was upright & throwing my kit back on & out the treatment room door before he had made it down the corridor!

My 2 friends both had female masseurs..   maybe I would have been better with a female..  I dunno.   I would never have imagined myself to be uptight in that situation...  but I was.

I then delegated my friend to have the sea salt body scrub instead of me...    a very good move... she came out red raw!

i had a  massage once and  i went home and threw up for  hours.

 releases toxins  they said.

they were right..

evelyn, they heated the hot stones in what i can only describe as a crock pot full of water i had a nose when she left the room

sorry that your massage wasnt that enjoyable at the spa day, I quite fancy one of those, ive been looking on last min .com


Brisket i know what you mean

and jackson... your the second person today to tell me they were ill after a massage, i must admit i had a bit of a headache but i think that was due to the room being so hot and being dehydrated after the body wrap (cling film, hot towels in a room that was scorching hot)

It's good stuff.. and saves the therapist's hands as well! You get deeper pressure with the stones , it's easier to do than a good ole fashioned swedish massage The only bit I'm not keen on is having to guddle about to fish the stones out of the heater, there's always a bit of clunking goes on that's not so relaxing for the client Did training in a new heat massage technique recently, using " lava shells" - it was magic, same  depth of massage and heat as the stones without the dripping and clanking

 Jeez, that's a bit of an extreme contra-action! You can sometimes feel a bit " off" after a massage , need to pee more , get a bit headachey , that kinda.. but shouting for huey is a bit unusual  !

There may have been a lot of toxins to rid.

Check your local FE college Gypsie, loads of them do complementary/ spa therapies and you can get really good , very low cost treatments .. loads of folk make a day of it!

  Sounds like it!

I had a massage in a bottle


Z.

were you sending out an SOS?

.. more usually an SMS


Z.

did they have them back in Mr Sumner's heyday?

ohh thank you slinki, i will have a look at that, i hadn't thought of the college. I have nooooooo problem at all with letting students pummel me to a relaxed mess in the name of education

Not for me ta...   I don't like someone not of my choosing in my personal space.  

Get yer baffies aff till I tweak your toes!

It's gooooood! You always get a great treatment too as the students are trying to impress !

I looked locally for that thai massage you mentioned slinki, and found a place that does it (and you get to keep the herbal infusion for your bath later or something) so thats next on my list to try

Massage with a happy ending 

ohh yes, they are good ones!
