What to write about massage, when there is no massage at
present? Here are some thoughts.
Extraordinary, Unusual. Unprecedented. These are some
words to describe the current coronavirus crisis. In many places at present
there is a notice of temporary closure shown in shop windows, on websites, etc.
The emphasis is on ‘temporary’ with that word often being underlined, or in
bold type or capitals. This is so with your friendly masseur here.
We know we are not being anti-social on purpose, but all
doing our vital part, hopefully short-term for the long-term good. Though
terrifying in one sense – do follow rules, or potentially die, being the stark
options.
Some emotions at this time may be feeling hurt or pained,
whether because of our own situations, or the general situation of everyone.
There may be the stress too of remembering to observe social distancing, and an
essential walk to shops and back home, or going out for permitted purposes,
such a walk or exercise, can feel like walking through a minefield. This can
work two-way – come not near me, and I will not come near you, in case......we
all know why.
When the crisis eases, come along to experience a lovely
massage or other treatment, even if involving a bit of unavoidable pain to
obtain what you wish through particular treatments. There is, for example,
Sports Massage and Waxing. Meanwhile, maybe try gentle self-massage,
relaxation, meditation, or other things to calm mind and body.
With trusting that ‘normal service will be resumed as
soon as possible’, a massage may seem extra-special, and a treat to pamper
oneself with. This will be when we are not two metres apart, but two inches
next to each other, as it were. Or at least meeting in person with each other
again for a massage, remembering and experiencing what we have all had to do without for a
time.
