massage your own back

Chiropractor! Or you can do your own "heat" and then pop your own.

Lay on your side start off on your left side then go to your right side so both sides get some love.

I'll be 5 weeks tomorrow and my husband wants to give me a back massage. Is it OK for him to give me one?

Most are not aware of their muscular knots until manual therapy begins - hard to detect if you dont know what to look for on your own. Not on the surface, as these are deep within the muscle itself.

He can apply a heat pack to the area. You can gently massage his back, shoulders and neck to relieve any muscle spasms. He can use paracetamol for pain relief. If he does use or the doctor prescribes anti-inflammatory medicines like Ibuprofen, ensure that these are taken after food, - sometimes the doctor may prescribe a stomach remedy like Omeprazole to protect the stomach. Anti-inflammatory medications do not suit everyone and can also cause stomach bleeding.

At how many days after your delivery did your husband leave you on your own and went back to work?

Does anyone know how to check your own cervix for dilation? I know it's completely possible but I have little hands and obviously have never tried to check myself for dilation before.

Could be your back is compensating for your boobs. I noticed that mine got bigger and did it earlier with each pregnancy.

I just grin and bare it most days but I find I feel best after a swim or a soothing back massage from my hubby. Seriously massage your butt. It sounds silly but it helps a little.

If you find a good massage person (think medical massage rather than slinky white robe massage), it can do wonders. Or a chiropractor? Icing and heat can help and I like some of the things like biofreeze, salon pas, etc. Arnica even can help. But really, massage saved me years back.

Ali ! If you are scared that much, stop visiting massage parlors. As Teak said, you were never at any risk of HIV, with double protection,,, (a condom on plus jockey cotton underwear) :-), though you do not need them in a full body massage unless you decide to "upgrade" the massage services. HIV only transmits via unprotected anal and vaginal sex when we talk about its sexual routes.

There are also massage therapists that will do massages for pregnant women. They will massage your back while you are laying on your side versus on your stomach. I hope you find relief soon.

s when I notice a swallowing bump on my right side of my back along my spine, it was also painful. Massage helped relaxing it and every time after the massage I was looking in the mirror and from the side it was visible that it's less inflammation. But that was only a temporary relief. I also had 2 weeks off work thinking that will help, but it didn't. In september 2010 found out about decompression and try that for 2 months, with no success.

is anyone going through the same thing i am where your alone with your first pregnancy and scared of what's to come ?

Try a prenatal massage but be sure they specialize in prenatal massage. I'm 22 weeks too and just got a massage yesterday! It helped a lot.

I'm only 11 weeks along, but for the past week I frequently feel a pinch in my lower back, like I need to pop it. I push on my husband's back to crack it all the time, but I'm nervous about having him return the favor now that I'm pregnant. Does anyone else have that going on?

I had my husband rub my back last night it helped but i know he isn't as good as a professional. Now its my lower back. This weekend i am going to look for a pillow i can use for my chair at work. Thanks for the responses ladies! This is my first pregnancy so i'm new to all this.

ve been told, is to work on the abdominal strength more, as they stabilize the hips and lower back. When your abdominals work together with all the core muscles they function together, instead of one part working (like your lower back only) which makes it sore, as they aren't strong muscles when working alone. When one area is unstable, it makes other muscles and muscle groups work more, causing more imbalance and pain. If you are a very active person, I would try to get into some yoga.

And not for money or even a pat on our own back but to take back the control that the virus tried to steal from us.

Neither of these medications have relieved the symptoms and he back still hurts. About mid-week he started experiencing twitching in his lat, pec, tricep, bicep and elbow. A muscle will twitch for a few seconds and then start in another muscle. We have talked to one massage therapist and she said that he should have gotten muscle work done after the adjustment then followed with another adjustment.

do you mean you see a circle that seems as if you are seeing an impression from your own iris or pupil? This morning I was blinking and seeing a circle purple\blue that gave me this strange impression ??? the circle was in my central vision....

I injured my upper back about a month ago, had some massage therapies last week and the pain/discomfort was significantly decreased but today my pain is much worse. The therapist said that I pulled some muscles and i would feel better every day but now this... I havent stressed out the area since I m sitting or lying in bed almost all day. Is it normal for muscle pain to flactuate during recovery or is the injury worse? Should I do any stretches and how long should they take?
