before I write more

I just want to say how much I advocate massage therapy.

I just got back from a massage. They're wonderful. I didn't really think I needed it too much, until I went for my first time in November. I think it's one of those things you don't notice until you see the improvement, and then you wonder how you ever managed without (okay, maybe that's a bit extreme). I'm so happy that I get massages covered through my work's insurance.

I had no idea where to go to get a massage before I started going, so I asked one of my coworkers where he goes and he recommended Down To Earth Massage. It's on Corydon Avenue, within walking distance from my house. I really didn't want to go anywhere pretentious, where I'd feel out of place or where people had bleached blonde hair and wore stilettos. Down to Earth Massage is perfect for me. I've only had massages by Meagan, but she's very sweet and very down to earth and helpful. She always gives me tips and exercises to do to help keep my muscles loose. I was scared of massages hurting too much or being really sore the next day, but they really work with the level you're comfortable with, which put me at ease.

So that's my advice for you - get a massage!

I definitely recommend Down to Earth. They don't have a website, but you can find out more about them here.
