I threw my back out :(

[Claire Monet]

Oh, the pain....

After giving a gent a lovely massage on the professional table in my studio last night I, ironically, threw out my lower back while cleaning up after he left.

I'd like to get some treatment today but have found no luck so far with RMTs for short notice appointments and when I search "therapeutic massage Vancouver"... well... I'm sure you can imagine the generated results. The only happy ending I'm looking for is pain relief.

Does anyone have any recommendations for same-day massage places? Or is anyone here trained and would like to make use of my table?

Try the electrahealthfloor.com. They have multiple rmt's that each specialize so you should be able to find someone suitable there.

Sadly I am out of town Claire or I would gladly give you a BBB non sexual treatment

And another chiropractor I would recommend is Port Moody Integrated Health. The chiropractors there don't do the normal 'back breaking' you find many chiropractors do, but work more with pressure points. Has worked wonders on my back. However, not open on Wednesdays. Massage is also available there.

I would suggest NOT seeing a chiropracter while you are in the throes of inflammation. They could easily make it worse.

Heat and cold alternating and massage. Ibuprophen or muscle relaxants to control discomfort.

Try to restrict movements that increase pain, but don't just lie around. Movement is better.

Otherwise - time is the best healer.

Thank you so much, everyone for your replies/pms/emails.

I've been using a heating pad and have done some yoga/stretching and went for a long walk. Things are starting to simmer down. It's really only on the lower left part of my back.

I'm actually really afraid of chiropracters and don't think I'd ever see one even though so many people swear by them. I'd rather have my body gently manipulated rather than cracked. Acupuncture is something I'm looking into as a longer term solution.

I have a massage booked on Sunday at my favourite RMT (as well as a facial and mani pedi at the spa after! I'm going to be one pampered girl!)

Thanks again everyone

No, it's not hard to find an RMT... I wanted something today and my 2 favourites were booked solid today. They're good at what they do and typically I book a couple of weeks in advance because they book up quickly!

Because of the pain I didn't want to travel too far, since they were booked up today I was actually lucky to find an opening on Sunday.

I am hoping Fiona can take care of me tomorrow guys, let me have some of the action!!
Please?!
