massage -
Hi Susan, osrry to hear the "gentle" massage caused you to ache. The first time I ever had a massage was during Physical therapy, post-op for my C spine recovery. Later that day- I felt exhausted. Not achey though- just tired. I believe the massage works out the tight muscles and releases cell debris or hormones/ toxins (?) into your bloodstream. Subsequent massages did not affect me the same way- just that first one. Which was a very vigorous massage too- it felt good during & after, I just had a gradual onset of fatigue as the day progressed,
anyway, I trust you will have recovered by now- drink plenty of fluids, the therapist told me to drink fluids to flush my system. r/ Jamie
PS so cool that you in the ARMY! IN THE 70s? I was Air Force - 8 yrs- I was working 12 hr shifts in the ICU and had incredible back pain, so the ortho surgeon ordered Xrays- first time I ever saw my spoine- I cried! but I'm so glad I served, one of the best decisions of my life!
