I know this is off topic, but I really need to know if other people reading have felt the way I did after my neck massage today. I went to PT for my neck issues. The therapist applied heat and tens to my neck and back while I was laying on my back. Then she had me seated in the massage chair. she started massaging my neck and shoulders. Now mind you, I have NEVER had a massage before!
Then, unexpectedly, I started crying. No, I am not an overly emotional person! I told her to excuse my response and she told me to let out all that I was feeling. It was fine. She was so kind and gentle and I felt completely at ease, even though it was the first time I met her.
Afterwards, we talked about all this. She said it was an emotional response and that I was very tight and tense im my muscles. I went home and cried off and on all the way home. I cried when I told my husband that it felt like angel hands stroking my aching neck and shoulders. I feel almost in tears right now talking about it!
She told me that others did the same. Anyone here relate? Looking VERY forward to next session. Even got a take-home present- a new fangled tens unit. Getting ready to hook it up and try it out. mandi
