Bring me a masseuse!
I volunteer at WABE and PBA30 many times throughout the year. I's happy to give back, but it means standing and sitting on a hard studio floor, phone to my ear while typing on a computer for hours a day. Not to mention my day job in front of a computer, often with a phone to my ear. If anyone is in need of a massage, it is me (and everyone else like me).
Enter Mobile Massage Pros. The donate their time on the last day of the pledge drive for WABE and come to the station and give free chair massages to the volunteers. Yay!
Now this time around, I had been suffering from a debilitating migraine for 3 days along with my usual neck-crick. Who knew that a chair massage could help a migraine, much less any headache? Certainly not me (a sufferer for almost 30 years).
Carl and I discussed how my migraine was manifesting, where my pain was and how the pain radiated. Carl talked me through the process, explained the muscles, how they effected the nerves, and how he thought he could help.
I would guess I was in the chair for 15 minutes, but the entire thing was was delightful. The right amount of pressure, hitting all of the pressure points to relieve the throbbing and give me some much needed relief after 3 painful days. I probably could have stayed in the chair for an hour and been content. Plus, I have the added benefit of my pain/headache has been lessened more than any of my meds have done over the last few days.
