Happy weekend, Hive!
@galenkp got some deep and tough life questions this weekend and I thought I would give it a shot. Link below for your reference.
(WE89) Weekend-Engagement POSTING TOPICS: If you could...
So today is Week 89 of The Weekend Challenge and I choose the option one - Change.
"If you could permanently change any physical thing about your body or face, what would you choose and why?"
If given a chance, I'd love to change my back (spine and everything from my lower back up to my shoulders). Not surgery matters, but I want to let my back pains away which I have it for years.
I have a scoliosis and since I was a little and I suffer from massive back pains. A little physical work I do, the pain is overwhelming I swear and my shoulders start to freeze like a hard rock. I've undergone physical therapies for years including massage therapies.
Massage therapy helped me a lot. Before the pandemic, I used to go to Blind Massage Therapy 3-4 times a week, one hour and a half per session. Now that I have a limited time of going out, I only use ointments/oils to ease the pain. I rarely take pain killer drugs/prescribed medicines because it doesn't really do anything to me.
Let me tell you how massage therapy works based on my years of experience. This is one option for achieving pain relief. Not only that, it also eliminates anxiety, muscle spasm, tightness of muscles and soreness by manipulating the soft tissues in our body. It also helps improve the blood flow to the affected area of the body and reduce inflammations.
I remember one time, my masseuse told me that my back is like a construction worker/farmer's back. She meant my back's way too hard compared to others. Even harder than men's backs. So anyway, massage therapy isn't and ought not be viewed as an instant magic cure, yet is it by far the safest natural alternative for back and muscle pains.
That's it for today. Have a pleasant day everyone!
One love,
