Hi all,

Somebody recommended that I go get a massage (specifically a Thai massage) and was wondering if, as with many other things in life, massages might affect me differently than other people.  Has anybody had a massage and felt too loosened up afterwards or felt like it did not do much either way? If someone has had a positive experience, what kind of massage did you get?

Interested to hear what you have to say.

I have always wanted to get a massage but I feel like it would be too intimidating.

Hey David

I've had massages and they do tell me not to get ones that are too strong for fear of causing muscle damage. I do find them to be helpful for me to get knots worked out etc. I'd give it a cautious try and have them take it easy on you the first time until you figure out whether it's good for you.

Hi,
My friend has just begun a weekly massage. From what I understand, gentle regular massages can improve circulation, which never hurts. We'll have to wait and see if it seems to help at all...

I also recommend gentle massages. We have regular massage sessions at work and as long as it not to strong its works wonders. You could also try tactile massage if you dont want to worry about muscle damage.
