I've had an achy back and neck for a little while so today I went for a massage. I was thinking on the drive over that my back was feeling better today (apparently it was still full of knots though!), and isn't that so often the way? Like when you go to the doctors for something you've had for a little while, and on the day you go sometimes you feel better, and almost wonder if you should still be bothering to go.
I wonder if it's the thought of doing something to help the discomfort, that makes you feel better physically? We know the mind can have an effect on the body (hence needing a massage in the first place for stress-related back pain), so maybe it can also have a positive effect - when you decide you're going to do something to make yourself feel better, you start to feel better already. Just a theory I find interesting - have you had any similar experiences?
