Guest guest Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 That is WONDERFUL to hear, . Can you do some of the massage on your feet that the therapist did? To me, foot massage seems to help other parts of my body too, it is amazing. I wish I could afford to get it done more often. But I try to use some of the techniques on my feet myself and it does help. Kathleen In a message dated 8/21/2009 7:14:16 A.M.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Hi Kathleen,No, what he did was all in the deep hip muscles and must be done by someone else.
