Well, had my first massage today... Was talking to a friend and he suggested I give it a try for this pinched nerve in my neck I've been dealing with for over a month.... Did a half hour and man, it hurt like hell lol... Did a deep muscle rub and had 5 knotted up muscles surrounding my neck and shoulders... But after it was done I felt 80% better than when I went in... I think I'm going to stick with it for a few weeks to see if it helps in the long run too speed the process up some... All I know is it did t feel good while it was being done, but it felt a whole lot better afterwards lol....
