This young man, in his 20s, came in for his first ever relaxing massage. He didn't quite know what to expect. He was a foreign visitor, passing through Leiria.
He explained that because of the hotel mattress, he had been suffering from a lot of lower back pain, pain that followed him throughout the day. We talked a little before starting, and by the time he lay down, he was already relaxed, in an environment and with someone he trusted.
At the end of the massage, I asked him how he felt, and his smile said it all, ear to ear, light, relaxed, pain-free. It was a remarkable transformation, he had come in nervous and shy, and left smiling and full of energy.
A poor mattress can really take a toll on the back, and in some cases that discomfort can also spill over into overall quality of life and well-being, including one's intimate life. That's why it's important not to leave that kind of pain unresolved, and a massage session can go a long way in relieving that discomfort.
Feeling lighter and happier, he was ready to head out and explore the Leiria region.
