If you have had a massage?

DH is taking me away for a couple nights next week and offered to get me a massage.

The only one I have ever had was before my wedding and I was already sick and it made my cold worse.

I would love a massage to relieve my joint and muscle pain. 

They have all kinds of options but swedish looked good to me. Thoughts?

    I love, love, love massages.  I am not into that deep tissue stuff though.  A Swedish one should be great! As long as it isn't a deep tissue one, unless you want that.

    I just don't want anything to mess with my lupus, if that's possible. Whats the downside to the deep tissue?

    Oh no I have never had it mess with me... Deep tissue, you will effin hurt because they dig deep down.  Just make sure you drink a lot of water AFTER the massage, because they break up all the poisons in your body and the water will help flush it out.  And just relax.

    I've only had a massage done once but I came out so relaxed that I looked like I had just got laid!

    I also like swedish over deep tissue. I like my massage to make me feel relaxed. When they rub too hard into my muscle it just tenses me up. My husband is the opposite and wants it to "hurt." I think he is just a masochist :))

    I love getting massages! Definitely get a Swedish one if you haven't had one before and you can tell the massage therapist of any sensitivities. I get really ticklish in my lower back and always ask for a little extra time on my neck and shoulders. Enjoy!

    I like deep tissue, but I'm sore and tense all the time so a regular one for me is just like someone patting me on the back lol. My sister in law swears by hot stone and Swedish (or do they normally go together? Idk)

    I already asked about this, and my nurse said to tell them there is a possibility that you may be pregnant, so they can skip parts and places they shouldn't massage when pregnant.

    This is me. I prefer deep pressure so Swedish/relaxation massages actually leave me in pain from the deep tension left behind.

    I would go for a relaxation if it's your first time. The therapist will ask you about pressure as he/she goes. And if something doesn't feel right, speak up! They don't mind. :)

    I love me a deep tissue--  beat the piss out of me!!  I like swedish massages to relax though.

    Prude alert-- the first time I ever got a massage, I was so uncomfortable because I had never been in a room, naked and alone with another man who was not my boyfriend (now husband).  hahah.

    Deep tissue is a must for me. 

    I carry so much tension in my back and neck and nothing does the trick like it. I take a muscle relaxer before I get it done since they are usually painful until the tension is reduced and I feel brand new afterwards!

    The massage I had the guy was cute- I only had panties on- I was married at the time and still let him massage my "glutes" lol.

    I figured it is his JOB to massage my ass ;)

    @SnowflakeBride06 I work for a large massage company (no I'm not an MT)... and if you tell your MT about lupus and your pain they can create a massage session around what meets your needs best.  No need to label it "swedish massage" or "trigger point" or anything... it's all created around the client's needs.  So tell the MT everything, including your TTC struggles... there are also things they can do to increase blood flow to the uterus.

    You can keep your underwear on (most do!).  MTs are trained for hundreds of hours about proper draping to maintain your modesty.  So trust that they won't see a darn thing! :)
