Have a birthday coming and a well meaning friend of my hubby has suggested that he gets me this. Granddaughter overheard them talking. She came to me asking was this safe for me and if not she will talk to gramps she is 12 ,I know that any massage should be gentle can any body advise

It isn't one I would try - I feel it might be too much pressure leaving the muscles sore afterwards.

Ask if you could have Bowen therapy, accupressure, or one of the other gentler therapies instead. I always come away from my Bowen appointments feeling as if a great weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I know Eileen goes for Bowen treatment too.

I have regular massages and also go to an osteopath. I must admit my favourite one is just the leg and foot one as I have bad fluid retention. My osteopath has other clients with PMR and rheumatoid arthritis, she is fantastic. If you don't want a massage you can always have a facial or pedicure or such like of course.

I would ask for Bowen as well, got me walking without zimmer frame and walking stick.

Eileen nagged me and boy was I glad she did.

Reflexology (feet) is gentle others.

Hi from Canada: My doctor recommended massage therapy - not deep massage but gentle. I've had two sessions so far and I feel they are helping. Have a happy birthday and enjoy your massage.
