Hi Everyone,
Didjyall have a good weekend? Lots of rest and relaxation
and just a little work? I sure hope so!
Listen, if you would, I have a question, both practical and
rhetorical, to present to this ng.
In the last few months I've had the opportunity to receive
my first several massages (about a dozen) from several
massage therapists (4); you're right, each of you is
different and with something different to offer. I sure wish
I had unlimited funds; I'd get a massage twice a day
- once after crawling out of bed and once while I'm crawling
home from work. You guys are great!
I realized something recently, and boy does my head hurt
from thinking about it. Seriously, not a single MT (until
the last one) has gone near my groin muscles: Gracilis,
Adductor Longus, Pectineus, Psoas, Iliopsoas.
So, I gotta ask, is this region off the table for males? Are
you trying to avoid my genital region? Are you trying to
avoid a physiologic response that would embarass the hell
out of me if you did go there? Is there no massage benefit
from working those muscles? What do you do for an athlete
that comes to you with a "pulled groin muscle"?
The MT's I've seen have done some light work in the
insertion area farther down the leg of some of these
muscles, but all have stayed away from the origin of these
muscles, which being from the symphisis pubis (sp?) (in some
cases) is awfully close to the male genital area.
So, what's the deal with these muscles and massage, or the
absence thereof?
