Guest guest Posted June 17, 2002 Report Share Posted June 17, 2002 I love massages, but on a painful day I would cancel an appointment. Could be the masseuse is pressing too hard; this is where you have to speak up and tell them what you need - Also, have you ever had ice massage? It's dreamy! Takes away the pain. My therapist would freeze ice in the tiny bathroom cups, then rip away most of the paper, leaving her with a large chunk of ice with which to rub my neck, shoulders and back muscles. She says you either love it or hate it! I love it, and I often rub ice on my shoulders or neck muscles when they are hurting - Colette, S.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2002 Report Share Posted June 17, 2002 Just the thought of ice on anywhere on my body makes me cringe! I am very sensitive to cold and ice would make me hurt for a week! The only time I've used ice is when I have a really bad headache that won't go away, I put an ice pack on my neck, but can't tolerate it for very long. I only use it in extreme cases. I prefer hot to cold most times - I take hot showers, even when its hot outside (it does have a cooling effect when you get out), I prefer warm, even hot weather to winters. Its funny how different things are good for some and bad for others.

I had forgotten all about these! I use to use them when my knee went bad. They weren't bad. Guess I ought to try them for various aches and pains. Thanks for reminding me about them. They're easier to hold than a bag of peas to your head. Darcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
