How was your weekend?
Have I mentioned I'm into massage. I've never had a professional massage, can you believe that. I may have had better than a professional massage, I can't judge because I've never been to a masseuse to be able to compare, and now I'm reading a book about it.
The massage I had was given by my husband and it was deep tissue massage, something he learned about from an Australian therapist when he had a back problem some years ago. The therapy treats the muscles, because they control the structures which cause most bad backs, and the massage technique works them really hard to release them. I understand it's known as myotherapy and is practised in the US as well as Australia, but hardly at all in the UK.
P eventually found a practitioner here, a French woman (no I didn't like the sound of it) she was about a 2 hour drive away but that's how hard it is to find a therapist in the UK. Anyway she turned out to be very good, her treatment was great and several sessions really put P on the road to recovery. He also learned a lot from her about technique. Added to what he'd already gathered from the Australian by email, and a book written by the same guy, P had and has a lot of knowledge about massage and one day after I'd been running and had some nagging pains he offered me one. I couldn't believe how much it hurt but the hurt was good (not like a spanking, quite different,) it took about 40 minutes and when I got off the bed I felt as if I was floating. Really, it was that good.
Now I've asked for them since and P's done them, and I must admit some of them have resulted in sex and one became a spank - massage session which actually I regretted because although it got me off, it degraded the quality of the massage which I can't over state is out of this world and I recommend it to any of you, not with my husband though.
Back to where I started, the book I'm reading is the one the Aussie guy sent P, there's a DVD too and when I think I'm ready I'm going to offer P a massage. My only concern is I might not be strong enough because it really does take some physical effort to get right into all those tight spots you didn't even know existed. I remember meeting the French woman (I travelled with P a couple of times, I'm not stupid) and although she was slight she had a very strong handshake, she was actually quite nice too.
So I'm going to give the deep massage a go anyway and when I do I'll tell you about it.
