I have suffered for many of my 67 years with an arthritic back. And because of too many years playing too much racquetball I also have been blessed with sciatica and a total knee replacement. Several weeks ago I somehow added a strained a flank muscle into the mix.
Because I have a tendency to be a bit overzealous in my approach to exercise, I am very familiar with all sorts of medical treatments and have tried every medicine, therapy and machine known to modern (wo)man to feel better. None helped. I finally called the WRAC in desperation to see if a massage (the one thing I hadn't tried) would ease any of my very real pain. They booked me into an hour slot with a new masseuse named Anja.
Never having this experience before, I didn't know what to expect. But I toddled in, laid down and was rubbed, pressed and drilled repeatedly from my neck to my knees. Holy elbows, I was cured! My back has never in my adult life been this relaxed and supple. All pain is gone, I can walk upright, twist and turn, and haven't stopped smiling!
Please folks, if you have any physical affliction from overuse, aging or chronic disease go see Anja. It is well worth the time and few dollars spent to feel this good. - Pat Kastel
I went to Anja for a full body message and had her focus on my lower back. The experience was painful, in that she found dozens of knots and tight muscles from my neck to my lower back. She is very good at locating those
trigger points that are causing problems. A week later I visited her again for the same treatment, but this time it was not quite so painful. A week later I had my third session with Anja and it was very enjoyable. She gave me the same treatment, but due to her previous messages the sore and tight spots had improved substantially. I am looking forward to my next appointment. - Brian Gundersen
