I feel so great! That was fabulous. I just had my first Swedish massage. Why did it take me so long to discover this. Having had one, I now know that this is one of the more modern-day massages.

Indeed, you may ask, why do I need a foot massage. All of us, all day long standing, running, lifting, walking - our poor feet. They support us all day, clad in heavy shoes and socks, restricting circulation, keeping air from our feet. Why not feel the human touch of a foot massage. Not just sitting in a chair where we insert a quarter for our feet to be shaken around, but someone genuinely qualified in making us feel better. I highly recommend giving the gift of foot massage, either to yourself or a loved one!If you think think this is something new, think again. Neither is new, nor is it limited to a single culture. Chinese records dating back 5,000 years document its use; Hippocrates wrote papers recommending the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems the ancient Hindus, Persians and Egyptians applied forms of massage for many ailments.

Sheffield physiotherapy, however, may be able to alleviate the pain by addressing the underlying cause.Neck pain happens for many different reasons. It some cases, it stems from repetitive stress. This often is the case when someone spends hours on a computer each day. A poor sleeping position can also result in this. Tight muscles in the neck can become strained by just a slight movement, particularly if it is a sudden one as well.Compression in the vertebrae of your neck as well as muscle tension in the area can also press on nerves causing pain.

There are also diseases like arthritis, both rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, that can cause pain in the neck and elsewhere in the body.Instead of just taking a pill for the pain, you can try some alternative therapies.
