My chiropractor is awesome. He rolls me into the adjustment. Never pushes too hard and never does anything that would make the inflammation worse. I get a wonderful massage while I’m there just for the places that are causing me pain. I am treated well and their concern for my well-being is present every time I visit. Definitely not a “wham bam thank you ma’am” kind of place where you hurdled in like cattle on speed and out in 5 minutes. And I’ll say the same thing about massage therapists. Sometimes you’ve got to kiss a few frogs before you find your prince or princess. I have one in my area I would refer anyone to. He is intuitive and seems to know exactly what I need every time I visit. All I have to do is tell them where it hurts. He gets it. If you want to have an exceptional massage you have got to be willing to communicate. Don’t be shy. They are there to help you, but if they don’t know what is bothering you, their job then becomes a guessing game. Who wants that? “Oh, surprise me. Let’s see if you get it right.” No! Tell them. Give them as much information as you can. Let them do their thing and give yourself a delicious treat.
