When you’re working, or strapped inside a vehicle for hours and hours , extended, you don’t realize that the upper half of your body is tensed up, your muscles are rigid and not moving. it’s like being a detention prisoner. except that this is your choice (well, occasionally some detention prisoners choose their lot), or you’re not aware of what you’re doing to your muscles. Until you develop what feels like big clanking iron chains inside your trapezius muscles (muscles behind your shoulders). and you need an emergency treatment. in the form of ….. an emergency Thai massage treatment (it’s better than popping a pill; i don’t take medicine).
So….The massage therapist told me: you should not wait until you’re aching, you should get your treatments regularly, get appointments, etc etc (lecture, lecture).
In any case, you cannot get an emergency massage before 12 noon (long story, my day ended mid-morning, got off the expressway); no such thing as an emergency Thai massage, unless you have a personal massage therapist at your beck and call who doesn’t have holidays and lives next door, or is residing with you. Thai massage therapists, and the ones we go to, work only in the afternoon till evening. they have rights. You cannot force them. Apparently, there’s no such thing as a Code Red: body massage. And of course the condition is not life-threatening. In any case, here’s where you could get an “emergency Swedish massage treatment”. it’s a small, quiet salon nearby (nearness and schedule are always my criteria for wellness, don’t get stressed out going to your de-stressing center)
i was the only vegetable, er, customer that morning and the first so that was alright; lamps and scented candles and wooden bamboo beds; the masseuse was strong and certain. slept ten hours after; next day late morning 30 or so sprightly asanas.
