Oct. 3rd, 2004 11:03 amYesterday seemed pretty rushed. The massage lady Susan came when we were both in the shower- she thought she was scheduled for half an hour earlier than I thought she was scheduled. Luckily I saw her car and checked at the door before she left to go back home.
The technique was interesting. It involved checking the range of motion of some joints, then resistance- she would hold my leg (for instance) at a certain angle and have me push in a certain direction. It did increase the range of motion quite a bit, but it wasn't the same sort of relaxing massage you think of when you think of massage, and I'm not sure how long the effects last since I don't tend to do much athletic activity where I could gage such things. It also seemed geared towards making you more symmetrical. Hub was pretty symmetrical, so he got half an hour of the new technique and half an hour of regular massage. We then took Susan out to lunch at Zorba's and chatted a bit- then it was time to get out to Wild Basin for the wedding. ( wedding wrap-up )
