With the pandemic cooling down, I want to start exercising again and resume my usual leisure activities. The restaurants I used to eat at have closed… several of the health/spa centers I often visited are gone… the crowded streets are quieter, but my lower back pain is still here!!

The company switched to remote video work and my lifestyle changed drastically, but I still miss stopping by the familiar massage shop after work—the friendly faces, the warm hands. Calmly lifting my legs, stretching, and easing the tension in my body.

Unlike ordinary dry oil massages, the therapist’s focused expression, learning about my daily habits during conversation, precise palms and accurate acupoint work, and the well-arranged flow and transitions left me wanting more. From soft to firm, then from firm back to soft, I woke up the next day feeling the soreness again—I haven’t had that feeling in a long time.

Winter is coming, and my lower back, hips, back, and shoulders are getting increasingly uncomfortable. Are there any courses or treatments with a similar format I can choose?
