Confession time. Up until recently I’d never had a massage. Ok, that’s not entirely true. When I injured my shoulder a couple years ago I did get massages at the physical therapist’s office. But that doesn’t really count, right? I HAD to get those massages and they weren’t exactly indulgent – 10 minutes of the […]
