mayalaenI’m not comfortable touching or being touched by strangers. And I’m not really that excited about it with people I know either. Not in most situations.
Ironically I’m really good at massage therapy.
My mom just came in and was like PLEASE help me.
She had strained something in her left upper back, and she didn’t realize that it’s actually been building for about 3 weeks now.
I start working on it and I’m like okay this takes up the whole left side of your back and involves a ton of different muscle groups. I get the muscles to start releasing, but there’s a big one that just won’t let go.
I tell her to breathe and try to relax as I continue working on the area.
Suddenly she’s like OH MY KNEE MY KNEE!!
She’s been complaining about a pain in her knee for about 2 months now, and it turns out it was something in her back. It started to hurt quite a lot as I worked on getting the muscles and tendons to back off, but I still couldn’t get it to release.
Her knee stopped and suddenly she’s like MY SHOULDER AND MY LEFT WRIST!! OW!!
It’s not so bad that she was really upset, I’ve just told my whole family to tell me immediately if they feel pain so I know what to do and what’s going on with them.
I keep working on it and finally it shivers and lets go.
Her knee, wrist, shoulder, and then her stomach (which she didn’t even realize was giving her trouble) backed off and she slumped forward with this moan of ohmygoditstopped i can BREATHE again
She’s been dealing with these things she thought were separate issues just thinking it was her rheumatoid arthritis and all the stuff she’s been working on the back yard taking a toll on muscles she hasn’t used much in the past 2 years because of all the seizure issues she’s been having.
But it was her muscles freaking out and a bunch of knots.
The biggest one was just to the left of the spine and she said she could even feel it in her throat as it fought me and then released.
She’s relaxing in her chair right now.
Bodies are so weird!
