Rib Massage

After reading about rib massage I decided to find out if it might help with my rib pain. I researched several massage businesses and found a massage therapist who had actually heard of rib massage and she was very comfortable helping manage my oxygen tube and helping with my issues getting on and off the table.

The rib massage results

I am happy to say after only a few visits my rib pain is almost completely gone and I am actually feeling like I have a bit more energy that helps with my exercising. I feel the 60 minute full body massage and the 30 minute rib massage are helping me so thought I might pass it along to others and hope it might help them. -Garry
