Skitty got a massage! And tried cupping for the first time.

It's been a couple of days since, so the bruises are already fading. But the first day, it looked gnarly! Might skip it next time, but I had to try it. >w<

I did feel pretty cool though. :D

Anywho, listen to me ramble about my experience and take a silly personality quiz.

Have you had a massage before? What's your fav type? inb4 someone says happy ending. :p

πŸ“Έ Me: What my back currently looks like. Polka-dot skitty :D

πŸ’† Quiz: I must have weak hands... No deep tissue therapy for you!

If you wanna take the quiz for fun: >> link here <<

A friend of mine got a deep tissue massage the other day, he said he felt like he went through a war 😭 Glad you had a good experience though, Skitty!

Raven Leijon

I got Swedish, so that's kinda cool I guess, calming and what not.

Teddy

Teddster is a balance between swedish, and deep tissue. not so much vibes though. xD. omg! skitty! your back! are you alright?! do you need teddy to 'talk' to your cup guy? im glad you had a good experience but you still look hurt.... and i do not like when you are hurt. *big teddy protective hugs incoming*

SkittyKat

Happy holidays to you as well!! You should have seen it the first day when the dots were raised! Lol Many have faded to a yellow now.

SkittyKat

I can imagine! Deep tissue sounds scary and fun... I want it.

SkittyKat

Your answer seems very fitting, Mr. Bear :)

Raven Leijon

70% like I'm almost 100%, I guess I like the gentle ones, the soft almost caring one.

I give pretty good massages! I'm not sure how relaxing they are though since I learned how to do them to help people with physical therapy back when I used to do that kind of thing.

I'm gonna have to remember to call them pepperonis next time I hear someone talking about cupping, haha. The best massage I've had was deep tissue while overseas, the masseur was a small thing, but she folded me into a pretzel easy peasy. Was extremely relaxed afterwards tho, so it was worth it. Glad to hear you went and spoiled yourself, you deserve it!

No massages for me, just physical therapy! Cupping on overly tight muscles hurts like heck. Also did some type of electrical stimulation therapy, that was pretty neat.

SkittyKat

It's such a good practical skill :)

SkittyKat

Lol. I kinda want a pepperoni pizza now :) I'd share a slice with you if you don't mind the pineapple also on it

SkittyKat

I tried electrical stim ages ago. Not sure if it did anything. I hope your therapy was helpful ❀️

ReluctantlySane

Ain't nothing wrong with pineapple on pizza, salty and sweet yum!

Ruka Ruka

A yummy skitty pepperoni pizza. Also my personality test graph was just a vertical line 😭😭 it didnt even spread out, just full on gentle pounder and nurturer

I personally don't like massages, mostly because I feel my body is sensitive, especially around my feet and back. So I don't usually go and get massages. But I did go to a chiropractor a few times, and man, I don't know if it was the oil he used or what, but I felt so relaxed that I wanted to fall asleep afterwards. Apart from that, not to brag, but from the few people I've given massages to, they've all said I'm like a natural at it, as if I know where their sore spots are. But as nice as the compliments are, my hands always cramp up afterwards, so I don't do it often. Overall I think I enjoy giving massages over getting them so I don't think I'll be trying cupping anytime soon.

Glad you got a massage Skitty, you definitely deserve it ^_^ If you ever have the chance, you should really try getting an ashiatsu massage. I got one done last month and it was the best stress relief I’ve ever had. Me and my massage therapist chatted about anime and music while she literally stood on my back and used her body weight to get really deep into my muscles. I built up a ton of knots between my shoulder blades and hamstrings that I never knew existed but she managed to get all of them out. Some parts had me gritting my teeth due to how sensitive my knots were but the relief was so unfathomably good that it almost had me drooling. I came out so refreshed to the point where some of my friends commented on how relaxed I looked. My range of motion on some exercises improved too, so that was awesome. I also got hot stones and some cupping done. From what I’ve been told, cupping is supposed to draw out the stagnant blood and toxins from deep tissue bruising/knotting to the surface so the body can deal with it better. Mine took about 8 days for the pepperonis to go away fully. Don’t forget to drink plenty of water, more than you think is enough so those muscles can recover fully and the effects stick around longer! It’s always a pleasure to listen to your rambles, thank you Skitty. Take care ^_^

I never had a massage, but I really want to try the Thai massage. My back is always so stiff πŸ§“

Galimeer5

Sounds like we might have a "getting a massage from Skitty" audio

Kench

Didn't know skitty kats could come covered in polka dots :P Was it pleasant? Never done it and I'm wondering if it's worth the spots <.< For me it's gotta be deep tissue massages. I feel like my body just tenses up so much for no reason at all that anything that isn't pounding the absolute shit out of me isn't enough to do anything. I kinda want to try one of those massages where you just get someone standing on you, the whole body weight on your back, to see if that actually hits as deep as it sounds like it would ^^

I learned from cartoons that a road roller gives a great massage πŸ“

sade

omg that little anime pic is cute! you always put so much effort in your posts 😍

SIM

You can be my road roller ❀️

I just had a massage today myself! No cupping though! I used to have an amazing therapist who did ashiatsu and it was SO GOOD. Really was able to get my back to relax!

SkittyKat

Aw, you've just got a gentle touch. I think that's really sweet <3 Whoever gets a massage from you will for sure fall asleep!

SkittyKat

Your friends are so lucky to have you around! You remind me of a coworker. She'll randomly shows up behind you and give a quick shoulder massage. She's the best. ~melts

SkittyKat

This was a great read! Thanks Kino! My masseuse also told me to wait a few hours before showering... I forgot and showered immediately after getting home. Had to google afterwards to figure out why. Supposedly the open pores may be more susceptible to infections, and avoiding hot showers is a precaution. Oops. Thankfully, my back is good and healing well :D They have back walking massages at the spa. I asked about it when I saw the rails on the ceiling. I was told I'm probably too petite for it >w<

SkittyKat

Ooo have you considered a foam roller? They're pretty inexpensive, and you can roll at home!

SkittyKat

Let me go light some candles and set the mood ~πŸ•―οΈπŸŒΏ

SkittyKat

It was interesting. Not unpleasant. Felt like a super focused squeeze. But if you like deep tissue massages, cupping imo may be too superficial. I'm a bit scared of deep tissue... might ask for some next time and see if I survive. :D

SkittyKat

It's one of my emotes! The lurky emotes are the best. Thanks Sade!

SkittyKat

Niiice! I hope you're feeling the good kinda sore right now.

PolymorphVZ

Your friends know you are a weirdo

Kench

You should go for it! You can always tell β€˜em to adjust the pressure down if it’s too much, especially since you got that good relationship with your local place. As much pressure as you can stand is the best, though. I dunno if it *actually* has health benefits but I 100% feel better, lighter, etc., the more pressure the masseuse uses. On my end I dunno when my next massage will be, I don’t really have a β€œusual” place or nothing, but I might see if cupping is an option next time I have the chance. Can’t knock anything before I try it, and the suction polka dots look surprisingly fun to β€œwear”???

I looove a good shoulder massage. Nothing in the world feels quite like a set of big ol knuckles digging into the upper back πŸ₯°

Zter

Last time I did one my back was in pain for a few weeks from what ever they did

SkittyKat

I couldn't agree more 🀀

SkittyKat

Oof. Maybe a swedish massage next time. I'll be gentle :3

Catfood

I spent a lot on physiotherapy, I had cupping, but unfortunately, massage is not covered. I had a lot of back pain earlier. Figure I should do one soon, shoulder is very stiff. Ive never had hot stone, how is it??
