I was blind, now I can see

October 20, 2008

No, I wasn't blind. That's a lie.

Yesterday, I undertook some epic DIY. Last night, I found myself in complete agony, whimpering and barely able to move after doing my back in with the aforementioned epic DIY.

I shouldn't have come into work today, but I shuffled my way to Soho and endured the pain until lunchtime, before completely cracking, heading to Relax and having a good, firm chair massage.
Now? Now I can walk again.... "Can I have a hallelujah?!"

I'm carrying myself completely differently and feel so much better. Relax on Brewer Street definitely gets my thumbs up - it's worked wonders.

Amazing facility, knowledgeable staff and a relaxing atmosphere. Relax really does live up to their name.

I had an Indian Head Massage but also got a neck and shoulder for gratis. The woman who did the massage was knowledgeable, sensitive and made sure that it was a good experience - something you don't always get at even some of the better health spas here in the capital.

I would definitely recommend Relax, and plan on becoming a regular.

A quickie for computer monkeys

Relax is great place to pop into if you’re feeling tension in your shoulders or a tight back or whatever ailment caused by slumping over a computer all day. And most of us media types in that area do have back and shoulder pain.

You can get 10 to 30 minute chair massages or book (in advance) a full massage which takes place upstairs in rooms and are more relaxing. But many of us don’t have the time or the money for the full boat, so a little rejuvenation is a nice thing. It’s around £1 per minute and the massage therapists I’ve had are really good – they really dig deep into the tissue – but you have to ask them to.

Relax also sells aromatherapy products, wonderful smelling candles, birthday cards and beautiful flower bouquets.
