Instead of getting the BF something material this year, I got him an appointment for a Thai massage at Thai Sabai which (lucky for us) is only a few blocks from our apartment.
When I first walked up the small flight of stairs into what looked like a doctor’s waiting room, I was apprehensive about the place I picked. My fears were put aside as soon as I saw the massage rooms: cozy, welcoming, and tranquil. The BF and I shared a room split by a curtain between our two mats on the floor.
My masseuse was strong and found all the tense parts on my back that needed work quickly. I’m a wimp when it comes to massage so I whined about her using too much pressure, but she let off only a little bit after convincing me that while it would hurt while she was doing it, it would feel better later. All the while, she kept telling me to relax. It’s hard to relax when someone is beating the crap out of you, BTW.
After the main massage parts (where she used her body weight and her feet to press down on my muscles), she helped me do a bunch of stretches which felt fantastic. Even though I’m still sore, hours afterward, it really did loosen up my shoulders a bit and I do feel better.
The BF seemed to enjoy it a lot too and is talking about going back.
