Yesterday was my first massage therapy experience. All I can say is wow! Since I'm on this new holistic journey I thought to myself why not try some reflexology. No medication needed. My friend took me out to enjoy this one of kind experience. It may not all that remarkable to some yet to me, I didn't realize how much tension I was holding on to within my body.
The therapist started on my feet with the reflexology, mercilessly I might add! But I knew it corresponded with my organs so I did my best not to wince. This was a success for my left foot... not so much for my right foot. I visible showed my pain by the curved look of my foot, my huffing and puffing trying to not scream. I even had to pull my foot back twice. It was awfully painful! Do I regret it? NOPE! Would I do it again? You can bet on it! Ideally I would love to go once a week until my feet don't feel that aching pain. Afterwards, my feet sighed in relief when the therapist ceased the medical tortured. LOL. My feet felt like they were floating on clouds.
On to the back massage now. I had asked for a deep tissue massage. I did not know what to do when I came to undressing... Am I supposed to remove everything or just my shirt? Well I certainly wasn't about to strip and bare all. I simply removed my shirt lol and Alhamdulillah that was sufficient! I can't fully explain the entire experience. There was a lot of kneading done... Like taking new found pottery clay from the ground and then kneading the crap out of it to make it more malleable, then use it to make a beautiful clay pot. Let's just say I'm clearly a work in progress.
Immediately after the massage, I felt taller. Yes, that's a strange way to feel I guess. The tension I felt in my everyday life was some how uplifted off my shoulders. I definitely need to go back!
24 hours later, now that I've slept. Well let's start with trying to sleep. my body was so relaxed that my comfy bed felt uncomfortable. I didn't know if I needed pillows or not. Nevertheless, I did in fact fall asleep do to complete exhaustion. I actually woke up sore... Now, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to feel that way but I do. I feel like I did exercise lol. I will say this however, my digestive system got kicked in the face. And it's working immediately better. My feet were sore too, I needed my slippers on all day.
In all I would definitely go back and I highly recommend it to everyone. I know I personally need to do regular exercise and to eat right.
Take Care & InshaAllah Khair
