Instead of those 'brush strokes' get in there and knead those muscles back into compliance, they'll like it. Really get in there with some weight and some manipulation but make sure you listen when she says it really hurts.

The mind is a wonderful tool but sometimes, it takes muscle to get it right.

Hope she feels better.


Thanks dude, I hear ya on the massage. My wife doesn't like to get rubbed like that even though I know what to do. So I work with her comfort level and have talked her into going to the whirl pool today and setting in some steam for a while. If it doesn't start to loosen up on her terms, then I'm going to press, no pun, that she go to a professional and get something done about it.

She doesn't mind me doing some light squeezing, and for what it's worth, I feel the brushes will just get some natural blood flow in there and stave the blood flow from my nose when she punches me for trying to rub her back

I know where you are coming from and that is certainly what I'd like to have done, but I have to keep a safe place for her to talk about this as well and not have her think I'm the massage fascist.... which I am

Thanks for the kind words.
