Getting a body massage

I had a full body massage just a few minutes ago. It was so relaxing that i feel like sleeping anytime now. It somehow relieved me from those aching back and joints. I have made it a monthly habit to have a full body massage. Do you also like getting a body massage?

I bet you're as busy as bee these days for having two jobs. I wonder how you manage do two jobs, a full-time and a part-time. How do relax? Isn't it very stressful for you. Anyway, I hope you are enjoying those job and I hope too that you are well-compensated with those jobs. Have a wonderful day.

With your combined salary from your full time and part time jobs, you can treat yourself to a very relaxing body massage. In that way, your stress will be relieved. Enjoy working and earning.

A body massage is something great, my body feels so relaxed after that :). The only problem is that I'm very ticklish...

Hello. I also love the hilot but don't do it much often. I only have "hilot" when I feel some pain in my back. Have a good day.

well, you could try a different type of massage. Here in the Philippines, the most popular type of massage (at least in my opinion) is the traditional "hilot", which consists primarily of strokes. then the person just varies the strength depending on what part of the body, if it hurts, and many other factors. but i do not prefer this type of massage as well since i am ticklish. So just to be able to get that relaxing feeling after the massage, there is the Shiatsu which is done through the use of the thumbs. They say that it hits your pressure points and instead of the strokes, it creates a different feeling - which is personally my favorite. Plus, it does not tickle me even on the soles of my feet. anyways, if you get a chance, try asking for different types of massages as they really differ in the feeling and how it is done.

Nothing really beats with a good or nice body massage especially when we go through a very stressful and exhausting work week. It is great that you make it a habit now to pamper yourself with a body massage. Definitely it is relaxing. Good thing now, there are home services and I am satisfied with the service. Go try.

the first time i had a body massage (with a professional) I was so ticklish and laughing which made me not to keep still and the "massager" was also laughing and said it will just feel like in the beginning but if I will be used to it then it will feel so good that I will feel so relaxed,,and yeah she was right after how many minutes I felt great already and I even fell asleep, so deep that I didn't noticed I had saliva on my mouth,,yaikk..

I always feel like sleeping everytime I get a body massage. It's a nice feeling when my body is being massaged from head to foot. Have a wonderful day my friend. Enjoy having a body massage.

yes of course. Especially if the person doing the massage is a pro already and is not just learning the sequence or the strokes and pressure points. I am not sure of how it is in other countries, but here in our country, there exist different types of massages: Shiatsu, Swedish, combination, and many more. Well, personally i prefer the Shiatsu type of massage because i tickle easily. Swedish is the one that is purely "hagod" or strokes, while Shiatsu uses the thumb to press and pressure points of the body. Well, the combination is of course, the combination of the two. There is also a Thai massage where, from what i heard, is somewhat the same but is "rough" or makes your bones to snap and stretch or something like that. But after it, they say that it really is relaxing. There are still a lot of different massage-styles that is suited for different people. Like for the ticklish ones, like me, i recommend the shiatsu because it doesn't tickle unlike the swedish or the combination.

Yes! I like getting a body massage right now! lol! I always tend to visit the spa center to have it here in my country. Usually once a month too. If not given a chance, then I'll have it every two months. If i don't have money yet, then I'll call my neighbor who works for massage and ask her to do it and be paid on my payday. She was nice so when she is not that busy, she'll do that for me.
