It's common to have this stuff if your muscles work a lot. But a good therapist will conform their work to the person's body. If somebody is spasmodic and jerked their shoulder if I went to massage it, then I would have to change the way I massage them to relax that muscle. Sometimes I have to go as light as a feather. Ross hit some muscles I didn't even know I had, and I felt them all through my body - even in front of my shoulders and under my arms.
Poor posture can be one of the causes of that.
I was definitely guilty. Ross said the best thing about working at a spa is that when people come in, they're there to honor their bodies. The Sage Tree Spa is open Tuesday through Saturday. Call 243-1434 for an appointment.
