We started out with a few tests checking posture, alignment, blood pressure and pulse. The massage itself probably lasted around 30 to 40 minutes and was awesome. My back felt so loose it was really quite amazing. I had a male student massage therapist which didn’t bother me any. He was a senior student who in the end answered a puzzling question that traditional doctors and also chiropractors hadn’t been able to answer for me.

If I hold my right arm close to my side with my forearm parallel to the floor, flex my right lat and begin rotating my right arm out to the side and up I can feel a sensation on the inside of my arm slightly above the elbow that feels like a ripping nerve. To begin with it’s really an odd position and not a natural movement. I discovered this quirk break-dancing a few years ago.

The answer I was given by the senior student massage therapist was that because my right pectoral muscle is too tight it’s restricting the nerve bundle and artery that connects through and runs down into the arm. That would make sense once you know what is running where and how everything fits together regarding the nerves, muscles and bones. I really would have assumed that a chiropractor would have the same amount on knowledge but I guess the one I went to was more interested in making money.

It was a great first experience with massage and definitely something I wouldn’t mind spending some money on from time to time. Many people may not realize it but massage therapists have an awesome amount of knowledge when it comes to the human body.

This Listerine mouthwash is pretty cool, and very very foamy.  If you’re not careful you could end up looking a tad suspicious standing there in the bathroom foaming at the mouth.  I always laugh when I use this stuff, it just strikes me as funny, maybe I’m a little odd but after a full 60 second rinse you can keep spitting foam for about five minutes afterwards.

I’ve been trying to find another mouthwash that supposedly colourizes plaque deposits on your teeth after rinsing so you know where to focus your brushing.  I haven’t been able to find it anywhere and don’t even know who makes it so that doesn’t help much.  For all I know it may not even be available in Canada, but it would be neat to try!
