Sore muscles/sprained back?

Shu · 12-09-2008, 19:44

How many of you came into port with sore muscles or an aching back from the gymnastics you went through while having fun pulling up an anchor, hauling the main sheet etc?
Is there a call for a couple of real massage therapist with much experience in sports injuries, myofascial massage as well as holistic work, who can take care of things like sprained backs or sore shoulders, migraines, wrenched neck etc.

There was an article in Latitude 38, which you are undoubtedly familiar with in San
Francisco, about a world cruiser who would hang a banner over his lifelines advertising massage services. He, apparently, had plenty of business wherever he went.

I missed that article but do read the Mag.
So maybe it is do'able.

Bear Point Marina on the GICWW in Alabama has a resident "real" massage therapist I believe she has a pretty good business. If you come in from one of your nude sails put your clothes on first!

Thanks Steve.
We too are "Real" massage therapist and we do wear clothes when doing real massage. However if you try wearing clothes while getting a real massage they are going to get real oily.
