Today was my second massage in just two weeks. Massages can be relaxing, invigorating, or painful. At least in my limited experience.
These days it seems that I tend towards the painful. I've learned from my rabid study of the lumbar spine musculoskeletal system that everything connects to everything else. Maybe I should have learned it a long time ago, after hearing "the leg bone connects to the shin bone..."...
Anyway, today we worked on the hip flexors. The theory is that I loosen these muscles and I won't have as much tension on the SI joint.
I can't say that it worked exactly. At least not yet. And once we got through the hip flexor part, the massage was relaxing.
And now it is just one week until my SI injection. Another step closer to pain relief!
