My chiropractor gives wonderful massages. I don't go see her often enough (especially with a $10 copay - sheesh!). She's always trying to get me in for what we both jokingly refer to as "Spinal Hygiene". I usually only go in when hurt or sore. Like lately - once a week for the past 2 weeks, and more on the horizon. Most of my aches and pains are centered in the upper back - all of the tension of the world I carry on my shoulders to the agony of my traps. I've taken to lying on the floor with a raquetball under my shoulder blades for deep massage to work out those trigger points when I'm at home. Just not the same. Sigh....
