Like some of you, I've had my own chronic pain to overcome. In 1999 my poor posture at the computer gave me excruciatingly painful tendinitis in both forearms. I could barely tie my shoes. The good news is that after months of therapy, exercise and ergonomic adjustments, I was eventually able to type again without pain. Just as importantly, I would stretch and massage the muscles in my wrists and forearms every day to help the tissue stay healthy. And to this day, I still do. I've experienced firsthand the frustration of a lingering injury, but I've also learned that it's possible to make a full, long-lasting recovery. Today I am still 100% pain-free in both forearms, even while giving as many as 20 massages a week.
It's no secret that the benefits of massage are numerous. With regular bodywork your circulation will improve, your immune system will strengthen, and your nervous system will relax--all of which enables the systems of your body to function more efficiently. You are probably already well aware of the wonderful effects massage has on pain, stress, and your overall state of mind. Rest assured, you are on the road to feeling better.
