If you are an athlete who has improved your performance, recovered more efficiently from an injury or a competition, or found massage therapy an important part of your training, sharing your experience might help another athlete achieve their goals. If you are a performing artist who has appreciated what skilled hands can do for you, let others know about it.
If you have found relief from the stress of everyday life and the sense of well-being that massage therapy can bring, let others know so they can experience it for themselves. If you are someone who just enjoys feeling good and likes getting a good massage, let us know about that, too. Feeling good is reason enough.

Two years ago, I began experiencing considerable, constant pain in my right hip. I was going to be at an event across the country that a friend who is an advanced massage therapist was also going to be at. I scheduled an appointment with him, knowing it was likely to bring me temporary relief and, wow, did I want and need some relief by then!
As it turned out, the single massage gave me a lot more than temporary relief. While he was working, the massage therapist told me what he was noticing in the tightness of my hip and leg muscles suggested that I was probably turning my right foot inward while walking. I'd never noticed myself doing that, but, sure enough, he was right.
Not only did the massage leave me walking pain-free for the first time in more than a month, ever since, whenever I'm walking along and feeling a twinge in my hip, I make a point of pointing my foot out slightly outward...well, making sure it's straight, actually, but it feels like I'm pointing it outward.
Doing that always makes the hip pain go away within moments and the constant pain I was feeling for at least 4-6 weeks before that massage has not returned in the two years since I received it.
I believe it's rare for a single massage to make such a difference, but that one certainly did. It was all thanks to what the massage therapist knew, observed, and mentioned to me as being a possible source of the problem.
I'd had a nasty fall about six weeks ago, and my shoulder pain just wouldn't go away. Alice asked some questions and immediately focused on my sleeping posture. I followed her advice, and the next morning the pain was cut in half! Thanks, "Ask the Massage Therapist"!
