flemmie Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I am still looking for a way to get some meaningful massage as my back is completely cramped up and I would like to be a little looser to start. I am seriously overweight and have some health issues. I am not looking for further advice on loosing weight, there is plenty available, but am still looking for a place to go to for a massage. The issue however is that because of my weight, I cannot lie on my stomach, so I need to look for a place that has these massage chairs where you sit facing the back of the chair, exposing your back for massage. If you would have any ideas where they would give a massage this way, please let me know. Thank you kindly.

Sheryl Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I haven't noticed the chairs, but have you tried lying on your side? The best masseurs IMO do a nice back massage that way (first the left and then the right). Of course they usually supplement that with having you on your stomach but I see no reason why the whole thing couldn't be done side to side. The excess weight does put a significant strain on your spine so obviously should do what you can to lose weight since, even if your problems now are only muscular, spinal problems are sure to set in. Hypnosis worked very well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aureate Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Maybe you should try a massage that centers around full body reflexology massages. They usually get all the knots out and it does improve your all round circulation. I would suggest walking as well. You might be out of shape but you don't have to stay out of shape. Baby steps can take you further than you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britmaveric Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Not sure why you cant lie on your tummy. Or just self conscious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flemmie Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 Not sure why you cant lie on your tummy. Or just self conscious? Euh... I guess the 128 kg prevents me from lying on my stomach.

Sheryl Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I think what he means is that it is impossible to lie flat due to protruding stomach, resulting in uncomfortably squished abdomen and the rest of him unsupported a few inches off the mat. Well endowed women have a similiar difficulty unless it is a really soft foam mattress with a lot of give, rarely the case in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flemmie Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 I am referring to a Shiatsu chair on which you sit the wrong way around so people can massage back. Here is a link http://www.shiatsu-therapeutic-massage.com...u-massage-chair Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britmaveric Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 ^ta for the clarification - I was just having a hard time imaging what the issue might be. Never seen any of those in thailand though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2oDunc Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Just a thought but head to the beach and dig a small pit for the stomach ? and get one of the beach massage girls to give you a good Thai massage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
