Post-Menopausal Maniac!
As many of you already know, I visit an osteopath regularly - particularly whilst on CD, when our bodies are constantly shifting and adjusting to accommodate our rapid physical changes. (It works wonders!)
However, although my osteopath is brilliant at manipulation, she doesn't actually do massage. I wondered whether massage might be also beneficial, not only to address the physical changes, but also to help out with the loose skin issue, which plagues us all! :sigh:
So I did a bit of research to find a local masseur/masseuse in my area, found one that sounded good*, and emailed her with my situation. This is what I got back:-
"Congratulations on your weight loss J with your postural changes I will be addressing the muscle imbalances to allow everything to sit relaxed and comfortable, and for the loose skin, whilst I can't say your skin will 'tone up' as such, massage will do amazing things for your circulation and getting fresh/new nutrients to your skin to speed it's recovery and really flush your lymph system, all will improve its tone."
So - not a wonder cure, but sounding pretty good all the same. I'm going to take her up on it, and report back my findings to Minimims! (Would anyone be interested?)
(* When I say 'sounded good', I mean a remedial or deep-tissue masseur - no offence, but I don't think one of those little girls who tickle about in beauty salons would be quite up to a task like this! )
