Avatar m tn If you just have episodic periods of stress, though, not a major problem, then yes, but there are a lot of types of massage and again, some are more relaxing than others. Some are quite painful while you're doing them, but they hopefully help with pain control so you try them. Don't think research is kind to it truly fixing anything. So if you want to do it to relieve stress, look for gentle types of massage that do that. Peace.
1278538 tn?1271141407 Look for a spa that has a program of several hours, which generally includes one or two types of sauna and two types of massage. Accupuncture is also helpful. Taking a vacation and taking up yoga and meditation also helps. I personally am an advocate of exercise, such as swimming or biking, or a work-out at a gym. You might consider changing jobs to one that is less stressful and more satisfying, if that is practicable.
566544 tn?1219437677 while you are in pysical therapy it is a good chance to drill your therapist on what types of jobs are suited for you. i asked mine to come up with a good way to drive and other daily things that caused pain. ask your physical therapist to check if one leg is longer than the other. most people do have a difference but it does not bother their back. if so, you can put an insert in your shoe and that helps.
Avatar f tn This will never get better unless you address a number of things in your life. What type of therapy is available to you? Find out and dive in! I don't judge you for going for the hand jobs---- other than to say if you complain of the anxiety after, then it is up to you to not go. Smokers complaining of coughs, same thing. You are putting yourself in the position all on your own to have this anxiety.
181575 tn?1250198786 Non circulatory massage welcome and very supportive during a long recuperation. There are many types of Non circulatory massage out there that feel absolutely wonderful. Most massage therapist are trained to learn non-circulatory massage or have taken continuing education classes (which are mandatory every 2 years in Oregon). So, as far as privacy issue goes, there are so many laws we massage therapy people learn that protect the client's confidentiality.

Avatar f tn This message is for the people who: have been to their doc and they just keep giving you pain pills and scratching their heads; you've been to multiple people( neurologists, orthopedists, family physician, etc., etc,, etc..) and they don't find anything significant; you've had multiple tests (MRIs, cat scans, nerve conduction tests, etc.. and they pretty much come up clear OR your doctor has told you OR made you feel that THIS STUFF IS ALL IN YOUR HEAD! You're CRAZY.
Avatar m tn Can I acquire herpes or any other disease (STD, HIV, name it...) via hand? We asked the receptionist and she confirmed that their massage will include massaging of the private part. Kindly please enlighten me before I'll confirm with my buddies. Thanks!
Avatar n tn ice packs, heat pads, massage therapy, physiotherapy, yoga, meditation, hydrotherapy, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), spinal cord stimulation, radiofrequency ablation, other types of neurolytic blocks, aromatherapy, Reiki, acupressure and acupuncture, guided imagery and biofeedback. Usually a combined approach of a pain killer and a non-medication therapy helps give best pain relief. Please consult your doctor regarding this. Take care!
Avatar n tn Hello, Sun spots or lentigines, are harmless, flat, brown discolorations of the skin which usually occur on the back of the hands, neck and face of people older than 40 years of age. They are caused by the skin being exposed to the sun over many years and are a sigh of sun damage. The only way to prevent age spots is to use liberal amounts of sunscreen before the age of forty, avoid the sun, and wear protective clothing.
Avatar m tn a towel was placed beneath me and i was given a body massage. Now the towel has spots in it which may have been contaminated with semen by previous hand jobs done.I was given a back massage which implies that my penis is in contact with the contaminated towel.Now what if the contaminated semen of an hiv person comes in contact with my penis and if it had gone through my urethra inside my body. Do hiv gets transmitted in this way.
Avatar f tn However, to get some sort of confirmation, I would like your opinion on these types of therapy. I have passed the age of sexual activity and I am a widower. So my interest in sexual literature is purely academic and I share what I think cab help someone.

Avatar f tn Over several months Iwe did traction, (which helped aLOT), and my PT would massage the small muscles that were causing such major pain. We did different types exercises, specifically to loosen and relax these muscles. It took some work, but not too much time before the headaches slowly subsided, along with the pain in my neck and and upper back. Something for you to consider, and no matter what I hope you get those migraines under control. They will ruin your day. Well wishes to you..
Avatar f tn Your walking incorrectly as the bodies way to protect your injured foot has possibly put you in the cycle of muscular imbalance. Physical therapy can help you regain strength, BUT what many PT's and Drs fail to address is possible muscle knots that will intervene with the healing and strengthening process - thus the pain continues.
Avatar f tn I never had an MRI, or CT scan, but being a License Massage Therapist, I know a little bit about these types of injuries. I can no longer work, let alone perform any light duties with that arm or shoulder. I was once very active and ran marathons. I am sad, depressed, and I don't know where to turn. Is there a physician out there who will take me pro bono?
Avatar n tn Hand jobs, nuro massage, etc. are no risk at all for std's. Hands do not give someone an std. Nor does taking a bath with someone. If you received unprotected oral, that has a low risk associated with it. And NOTHING starts the very next day.
425312 tn?1279966179 massage releases tons of toxins..get a deep one..you have to drink tons of water afterwards to flush them out or you will be sore from it..it is true...
Avatar f tn Anxiety can do all kinds of things. I can't recall if you are in therapy, but it would certainly help if you aren't.
Avatar f tn I had an ablation done almost 4 years ago and the SVT is now a memory for me. It is a no brainer and an very non invasive procedure that i always say is a heck of alot easier than a root canal. As long as the doc says you are in the 70% or higher range for success i wouldn't even hesitate. I got my life back plus some and most people go home a couple of hours after the procedure you will be surprised at how easy it is. As far as littlegreenmans post goes....
Avatar m tn Hi all first post I am starting to think I have a disease and need to get treated but not sure if there is really a cure or it this is ocd , 2 issues one I am obsessed with going to massage all though not involved in anything more that hand jobs and few bits and pieces but then I have so much guilt and also think I will get hiv etc and go on several forums clarifying things and making my life hell and doing tests when it’s not needed keeping away from family etc 2n issue is I get a trigger to d
Avatar f tn Both are fine. Make sure when your making the apt that they know your prego. But your fine doing either. I get massages as often as I can. Most massage therapists are trained in prenanatal massage. The real difference is they just don't use a lot of pressure.
Avatar m tn i doubt any amount of therapy will ever rid him of his fascination w/ heels but maybe having them at home on his wife is a start then, like kittycat7 said, if he continues to keep this from his mate, it would be hurtful and damaging and his wife would probably think as im beginning to, that he's just WILLFULLY SEEKING his thrill and pleasure elsewhere
Avatar m tn Dear Doctors, First of all, let me express my appreciation to ur work in thIs forum advising and educating us. Let's go to the point. I am a Chinese male living in Hong Kong. I regularly visit massage parlor, you know those "ending happily". So far, I only received hand jobs from the masseuses. I had never touched their genital areas. But I start panicking since last night. As usual, I received a massage from a girl and ended up with HJ.
