Bliss.....

[gness]

....just sheer bliss...... :-)

When you're in so much pain that you don't know if you're on foot or horseback.....so you have a deep tissue massage....really deep......she's good uses her elbows and body weight well......

Follow that by half an hour lying on a bed with needles sticking out from your head to toe......not the most dignified position I've ever been in......

And the pain disappears.....just goes away and you can wave your arms in the air...and...if you wish...turn cartwheels in the garden...... :-)....x

I would like a little swimming pool to float in (I can't swim) and take my considerable weight off my knees. I hurt a shoulder at the weekend so they are both sore and knackered. Then I cut my thumb with a sharp knife and that hurts. I have two painful spots on my scalp and my eyesight is blurry. And I have an appointment at the docs tomorrow - some mental health check-up and an MOT. But I still have my own teeth.

Are you going birding (?) Frankie (the one at the back in my avatar) is in the Young Ornithologists club, they drive him nuts as he watches them through the skylight. He used to sit on a high shelf in the bathroom and peer through the open gap in the window - until he fell down the loo a few times getting up and down to the shelf.

I am meant to be typing some Oxfam stuff and it is so boring - but I better get back to it. Keep on Birding ......................

A bottle of Pinot normally does that for me.........

Do you have enough room in your garden to do cartwheels, Gness? Don't end up in the pond, will you?

[gness]

I was in Birmingham yesterday, Wolf and parked near a place that offered floatation therapy.....never tried it but would like to.....not a swimmer either but don't think they'd let you drown.....

Off next week for the birding on a bike experiment.....
I have most of my own teeth too....well made for me teeth......x

You can stop laughing now, BM....please....... ;-)

Not much room, Tilly....and it's downhill into over the back's garden........ :-(

Oh...Why are you in pain?..Sounds dreadful. But the massage(torture) sounds like something I could do with sometimes.

Hi, Pasta.....I think I did something lugging cases around Palma for the best part of a week......should have sorted it when I came home but you know how it is....
Then is suddenly went ping and I couldn't do anything but lie on my back.......alone... :-(

But the acupuncture helped.....and the massage more than helped. It's taken an age to find a really good person to do a proper massage.... can't be doing with wishy washy aromatherapy efleuraging massages....

So much better now...x

I'm a back sufferer too! Scoliosis in lower back plus nasty arthritis spreading throughout! Hurts if I do nothing, hurts horribly if I do something daft like lifting a pile of books! I have a good osteopath who occasionally clicks my spine back into place (vast expense) otherwise there is a local lady who does wonderful back massage for £15 (she sees her business as a service -I am so lucky!) and can straighten out muscles tightened in spasm. Without these ladies I would very quickly end up confined to the house and uncomfortable all the time. Wonderful results - the NHS could probably save a fortune by paying for masseurs and osteos. in the first place.

Oh, please tell me who can take pain away like that! My back's in spasm and it's incredibly painful.

Do you live anywhere near Filey aurion?

[aurion]

Filey is reachable.

[jourdain2]

Right, I don't know how to do this without breaching privacy. The lady I know is in Hunmanby and does not advertise. Perhaps I should ask the Ed. I'll try that.

[jourdain2]

emailed the Ed. and asked how I can contact you privately to give this lady's contact details. Await response.

Hi, J.....I'm lucky....I don't have "back problems"...just the bit of wear and tear from years of doing proper massage which I keep at bay by having massage....and acupuncture if pain arrives.
This time was very different and I sympathise with anyone who has this on a regular basis.....it affected everything I tried to do...from gardening, sleeping to even driving comfortably without pulling groany faces which got me funny looks....and I've only suffered for a few weeks.....longer would have seen me on the gin...... ;-)

I'm not a fan of osteopathy but appreciate it works well for some... for me acupuncture deals with any severe pain but massage is what I'll try first....

Aurion....there are many massage therapist but finding a good one who knows what he/she is doing is difficult.....this lass is my fourth try. The others were just too superficial...that's the best way I can describe them.
Phone first and ask if they do a deep tissue massage or a sports massage and check their qualifications...believe me it's not difficult to take a course...get a certificate and set up doing run of the mill massage.....but regular massage with a really good therapist should help you......x

Aurion - the Ed is sending you my email address, get in touch, please.
