Good medicine

I get migraines, sometimes really bad and really annoying ones. Since I have been in Singapore they have changed a bit...likely due to all of the travel and too much work. I woke up in the wee hours of this morning with a nasty migraine. My meds knock out the majority of the pain but it was still lingering even this afternoon. I decided to go to my local massage place to see if a neck massage would do the trick.

I can't recall if I've mentioned my massage place before so forgive me if you know this already. It is a small shop in the back of a kind of dodgy looking shopping center. The primary massage that they do is foot reflexology so the shop itself is just a big open space with chairs on each side and in the back there is a massage table. It is by no means a spa so there are no frills but it is clean and the prices are great.

The massages are also great. There are always 5-6 different people working and they rotate who gives the massage so it is typically not the same person. This afternoon I was assigned this small Asian lady. She couldn't have been taller than 5 feet and probably didn't weigh more than 100 pounds. Despite the size, man could she massage with some serious pressure. It was exactly what I needed and even though I didn't mention that I had a headache she seemed to just know and massaged the tension out of all the right places.

It was some good medicine, actually better medicine than the pain killers...
