the Price of Short Massages

I hurt my leg playing softball and someone suggested that I get my leg massaged. What a hoot !! I called my family doctor and he said it's probably what he would have suggested. It's better than anti-inflamatory medicine and will feel better sooner.

Based on a recommendation from a neighbor, I went to the place he goes and for $34.95 I got a 30-minute massage. If you want an hour massage it's $59.95. I chose the 1/2 hour one since I didn't know what to expect.

According to the literature on all the different kinds of massages they have, it's designed for people that don't have a lot of time or need a massage in a specific area. It was perfect for me !!

I have always thought of massage as a luxury and a pampering that I deserved but didn't have time for or coulnd't afford. Boy was I wrong!

It was just as I imagined. I was in a private room, laid on a table which split half-way down so that the person working on me could get to both sides of my leg. They used warm/hot towels, lots of lotion, and soft music and soft lights.

Although this was actually a medical problem, I treated as if I was a movie star.

Massages are not just for the rich and famous.

Many procedures are especially designed for neckache, backache, and injuries.

Short massages are not very expensive and they make you feel wonderful !!

Have someone drive you home - you're sooooo relaxed.
