What you see in the picture is a hand made wooden massager. It's made of wood and really good for the back. My fiancee loves it when I use it on her and I also love it when she use it on me. How about you how often do you treat yourself to a massage? Do you want it hard or soft? What part of your body wants more attention? Mine is my neck and my back.

I have never had a professional massage, but my husband will give me one every now and then. Probably once a month, but I dont really ask for them.

you should try massage spa once in a while. It's relaxing and you won't regret it.

One of the best things about living in Asia is the fact that there are many places where you can get a good rub down. It's like, if you can't do anything else, set up a massage centre, because there will be plenty of people who will need a rub down at all times of the day.
The downside to the availability of massage places is the fact that many of the massage places sell "special" service, which can be really annoying if you go into one and don't know it's one of those places.
Having said that, getting a rub-down is good for distressing. I think it depends on individual but I walk around allot and this starts to hurt the feet and the back. Once in a while, it becomes very relaxing to have a back rub by a professional mas sues.
Foot massages, especially foot reflexology. On the most superficial level, it feels good to have your feet rubbed after a long hard day. On a deeper level, it seems that there are certain acupuncture points in the feet that connect to the rest of your body. Having your feet rubbed is apparently a good way to stimulate those points and make the rest of your body much healthier.

I love getting massages but they are expensive. Last time I got one was about one year and a half ago when I was having some problems with my back. It felt great and was helpful. I wish I could get them routinely like one time per month would be ideal.

yes.. massages can be expensive in some places but in ours they are relatively cheap. I went on a beach few months back and right there on the beach front someone was offering their services. Massage on the seashore, I saw one customer and she's really having a fine time. sunset, the beach, the massage. Imagine that and it would only cost you 15 dollars the most for a whole hour full body massage. My advice save enough money travel in my country the Philippines (where foods are great, people are friendly but the politicians are way rotten specially the President!) and enjoy yourself, You'll never regret it. Promise you.

Hi, I used to treat myself a good around 45 minutes body massage at least once in every 3 months. My partner is lacking in the level of hardness as he worried he might injured me.haha. I like to go to spa+massage which could relax my body while rejuvenate me with aromatherapy oil. The part that needed most attention is my shoulder, neck and leg.
