Have you ever gotten a professional massage?

You and one of my close friends have both had the opportunity this week to get a professional massage and I have to admit that I am jealous of you both. I've never had a professional massage in my life, but I know that it is something that I would be very interested in having done. There is actually a massage therapy school here in town where you can get a semiprofessional massage done by the students for a very reasonable amount of money and that is what I am thinking about doing.

Oh gosh yes and they have all to date been wonderful I remember my first time I was a bit uncomfortable as I normally do not have a stranger tough my body, but the woman was so nice and her hands massaged, especially my achy back which she was able to get me to relax. At first I was really tense and not really able to enjoy it and she kept telling which parts near my shoulders were really tense, as she pointed them out I could tell she was right. You will love it, and when you are done you come out like if you are walking on clouds.

I've never gotten a professional massage. I don't care for the ones my hubby gives as I only ask if my shoulders are really hurting even then it's a hit or miss if he'll do it for me. I don't think I'd ever go for a real one though, between the cost and this waistline.

I hope you enjoyed the experience first of all and it wasn't too rushed! I have had one but, personally it is not the way I prefer to relax as I don't ever really feel comfortable! Lol Haircut yes but, massage not for me - well not from strangers anyways! Lol x

never had one. it sure would be great before i die. ive heard they are wonderful. all ive had is a couple of husbands that knew how to and that was just leading up to you know its to bad he couldnt have gotten it on your day off. i finally got a pedicure 2yrs ago and sure enough it was all they said it would be.

Yeas, I have gotten a professional massage 2 or 3 times... it was wonderful! It was not cheap though... I felt a lot better after that. I remember that hour went through really fast, when she was done, I was like "done alreaday?" I could hear crunch crunch crunch when she was rubbing some very stiff spots on my back. I really enjoyed it, I hope I can get it again when I go back home.

I had a foot massage done last December as a sort of pampering gift for myself. It was a little expensive but it was worth the experience. I just didn't like the transitions from the warm foot soak to the cold cream or oil that they used. But it was a pleasurable experience for me because I was relaxed afterwards.

That's really cool. I have had two professional massages, but I didn't really "enjoy" them in the way most people do. A lady in my church is a professional masseuse (or is it massause?). Anyway, she's always telling me and my mom she'll give us a massage for free. But her work is a long way away, and you have to drive through a lot of traffic. My mom has gone before, but my dad took her so the drive home wouldn't "undo" the work of the massage. Well, one night I got another migraine. I had been to the ER the night prior for a migraine I had had for 4 days. When it came back I was upset because the hospital just isn't go to believe me coming there twice in two days. So my dad called the lady and she was still at work. My dad drove me over there, and she worked on me for two hours. I fell asleep once, and when she was done, my migraine was gone. About two months later I had a migraine that wouldn't go away, so again I went to see her. She worked on me three hours, and it didn't do a thing. SHE was more upset than I was. I tried to tell her I should just go to the hospital after an hour went by and the pain didn't subside. But the poor lady tried for three whole hours. I did end up in the ER again that night. They finally got rid of it with morphine. Which is not what they want to give people for migraines. Now I want a massage for when I'm okay. I'd love to go get one with no reason other than it would feel good. You're a mom, so you could REALLY use it.

Sorry I took so long to respond to this but now you've already had your message, right? I've had one once and it was only for 20 or 25 minutes. I LOVED it and wish it would have been much longer. I felt so relaxed and my muscles felt so much better after it was incredible. I actually won it at my grandkids' Midget Football banquet so I didn't have to pay and I haven't really felt that I should spend the money on it since, but I just might decide to treat myself soon!

Yes....my neices husband gives them..he is a professional...and it was wonderful. I just had a short one as my niece was having her birthday party...well they kinda needed the money so he was giving massages for five buck...almost everyone had one...he has his own table at home.

I get anxious when I'm in a time crunch like that as well. Hopefully you will enjoy your massage. I have never had one. I wish someone would buy me a gift certificate for one lol. I am not a professional but I am always giving my friend a massage when he is over. Maybe you could have had the massage on a different day when you didnt have to rush so much so you could enjoy the relaxation from it more?

I've had a quite a few, though none for a long time. When I was pregnant with my first I went to a spa for a whole weekend which was marvellous. Sometimes you can feel quite dizzy after a massage so it is probably just as well you have your hair cut to enjoy as well before you have to start getting ready for work.

Lucky u. I have never had a professional massage but have always wanted to. Enjoy!

I envy you woman!! haha.. No! I've never had a professional massage and would love to be in your shoes.lol! In fact my goal is to earn so much money that I can open a chain o spas all over the world so that wherever I go I can get a massage every hour of the day.. everyday! I often bully my little sister to give me massages. I know its cruel of me but I just can't help it. hehehe!

I've never had a professional massage either. I wanted to go to this little spa in Berkley Springs, West Virginia but I haven't made it there yet. I wish my husband would think to do something sweet like that for me. I've talked to people that have gotten a massage and they loved it. They said it made them feel like butter lol. I'm hoping maybe my best friend would be up for a girls weekend at the spa I was talking about and then I'll get one.

I have had a couple massages in life. Some are at local spas around town and i love them because it really does feel really good. I have such a bad back and im always hurting so it feels good to have them done a couple times a year. I have also had a couple done on cruises and cant wait till May to get one done again on a cruise. They are so nice and just so relxing to have and you forget about things and then the rest of the day is rush rush to get things done but while you are there they are a nice thing.

I've had quite a few. One woman's hands were so soft that I had a hard time breathing. I've also has coworkers give me relaxing massages. One night I came back to work. This woman I knew came into the room and said, "welcome back Rob." She was so good that I couldn't think of how to fill out my application nor field questions about Ohio State vs Michigan in football that some guys were asking me.

I love taking a body massage. It really relaxes your body and a very good stress reliever. Unfortunately, I can't afford it on a regular basis. Actually I usually get it for free whenever my brother goes home from work overseas. He usually treats me to a spa. But if it was my own money, I don't avail of it. I think if you have a family of your own you would prioritize other things to spend your money on rather than treating yourself to a spa. Although, I think it is a good way of rewarding yourselves.

I have experienced that. It was like I'm waking up as a whole different person. I felt like my body was rid of all the stress.

I have had a professional massage twice already. The first one, I was too tense. It was my first time and even though I was in a 5 star spa, I still felt shy and uneasy towards the staff because I though they didnt know what they were doing and that they didnt have any training whatsoever. So I was tense the whole time. Despite that, it felt really great. They were able to un-tense my body and relax my muscles. The masseuse even said I fell asleep for a while. The second time, I knew better. I was relaxed and my goal was just to detoxify and to enjoy myself. Enjoy the pampering. It felt wonderful. A rejuvenating feeling indeed. After that I went for a manicure and pedicure plus hot oil. It was a "me" day that time. Oh, how I envy you that you're going to the spa right now... I wish I could go back. I need a massage badly.
