I'm debating about going for a weekly back massage as I've heard it will reduce my stress levels which are caused by anxiety but leave my back feeling knotted up which then causes me to panic coz I feel like I can't breathe properly.anyone else had back massages that have found some relief in how they feel x

get the back massage and ask them to make sure it is a light massage. If you find it uncomfortable ask them to go even lighter. They can adjust the pressure they apply and just make it a relaxing experience.

yes ask for a Swedish massage it will do you the world of good x

Hi,

Go for a massage, I often have them, you will feel much more relaxed and and all the knots in your back will disappear. i used to be a masseuse and the benefits you gain from them is great. I treat myself to a Spa weekend too, at The Titanic Spa, and you feel relaxed as soon as you get there.

The Therapist will always ask 'is the pressure alright for you', I do like a heavier touch, but don't worry about anything. Enjoy. xxx

i would go for the massage. I find them very relaxing and it helps relieve all the tension. I sometimes get treatments for birthdays or xmas.
