Dean had a massage yesterday thanks to a thoughtful gift from family members. His back has been bothering him for quite a while causing an inability to sleep or to sit in a car for long periods of time.
He was shocked to find out that he had to be absolutely naked under that sheet! Once he got over that surprise, though, he really enjoyed the session. It was a little uncomfortable during, but felt great after. He did sleep much better last night.
He will wait a week or so and try it again. Thanks again Phil and Mary.
A new study done by Emory University showed that there are sustained, cumulative beneficial biological effects from repeated massage therapy with the effects persisting from several days to a week. There were measurable changes in immune and endocrine function.
