It's time for a deep-tissue massage

Funny how massage centres have these fancy names for what is really just a massage with or without oil, with or without tools.

Swedish massage, Aromatherapy massage, Hot Stones massage, Shiatsu massage, Deep Tissue massage, Thai massage and so on.

Somehow they all seem the same. Fancy names.

Recently, I have this spot of pain down my back where I can’t reach. It’s a dull sort of pain but its ever so irritating. It is constantly reminding me I have a back and I have to keep shifting to get the nasty dull feeling to stop for awhile.

It feels like a pain that can be eased with massage.

My boss says it’s a muscle spasm where the muscle refuses to relax.

Hmmm, its not the downward dog pose I did at yoga yesterday that triggered this right? Come to think of it, that was the first time I felt it!

It seems like a deep tissue massage will do the trick.

I can’t really explain why or how. I think the pain is getting to me and making me dull. *help*

    Massage without oil? That is so OUCH! Personally, I have never tried any massage without oil.

    It’s different style of masssage la… Thai massage tends to stretch your body parts while some like aromatherapy are gentle…
    Usually, Swedish is the typical ones.

    I think the pain u have is due to ‘angin’.
