Ahh, Relaxation

Yesterday, we went for massages. We did this for the first time on our trip to Topsail Beach last month with my family. Mike really created a monster with that treat because I've wanted to go every weekend since then!

But finally we went on Saturday. Mike had a crazy week at work so I called Massage Envy on Tuesday to schedule appointments yesterday at 1pm.

We arrived at 12:45 and filled out our paperwork. Mike was paired with a lady that specialized in athletes/runners. I was paired with a massage therapist that works extensively in necks/headaches.

The massage room was nice. The tables are heated and comfy. My therapist was a bit chatty but it was mostly in the spirit of making sure I was comfortable and she was addressing my needs. She did a lot of pressure point work on my neck and shoulders that caused me to be tender afterwards but I'm finally loosening up and thinking it was definitely worth it.

Afterwards, we were both glad we'd gone. Mike was more relaxed/sleepy than I was while I felt more "worked on" but that was fine. I've learned in the short span of only two massages that there are different kinds of sessions and that's great.

So great that we signed up for the membership which includes a monthly massage at no additional charge and more massages at a discounted rate. I'm hopeful that this will help my stress, tmj and especially my headaches. I'm very excited!

P.S. If you're interested in checking out Massage Envy, let me know. I can hook you up with trial passes.
