For about 4 months I had a dull pain on the right side of my body where my ovaries are located. The pain I was experiencing was very uncomfortable but somewhat manageable. However, 2 weeks ago the pain had become excruciating and on Wednesday July 11th it also transferred to the right side of my lower back. This rendered me completely unable to bend and at times even walk. I feared the worst, ovarian cancer was on my mind all the time. My friend suggested to get a massage but initially I just laughed off. At around 5pm however I said to myself, what the heck, what I've got to lose? That late into the day I couldn't see a doctor unless I drove myself to U of U emergency room. I Googled the closest place to my Avenues house where I could get a massage without appointment. Avenues Day Spa was the first one I called. I explained that I was in horrible pain in the front and now in the back of the right side of my lower body and that I wanted to first try a massage before I go to the emergency room that night. I was told that this spa is by appointment only however the lady who answered the phone said that this time she will make an exception and that I could come any time till 7pm. I dragged myself into my car and within only 10 minutes I was laying on the massage table thanks to the massage therapist Amy who was so kind to help me out of my car and then actually put me on the massage table. Amy was really attentive and soft spoken. When I told her where the pain was coming from she said that just by touching my lower back she already knew where the problem was. She then proceeded to work on my whole body. Amy is amazing! She is so in tuned with blockages of energy in the body! I've gotten lots of massages in the past from random places in town but till Amy worked on me I've never experienced such an improvement. During and immediately after the massage not only I was very relaxed but I also have noticed that approximately 70% of my pain from right lower part of my body was gone! First I thought that the whole thing was just a placebo effect .The next morning, I realized that I was completely pain free!!!!! This was not a placebo, this was real. Oh boy, am I really glad that I've listened to my friend and got the massage that day. Since getting the massage from Amy there is no more pain whatsoever !!!! I jokingly told my friend that my root chakra was out of whack and that thanks to Amy, the massage therapist, I feel really connected to what is and not living in my head anymore. I really don't care whether chakras do exist or whether they are just another new age ""discovery"" borrowed from Hinduism and Buddhism. What I truly care about is how my body feels and when in pain I will always trust people like Amy who are so skillful in diagnosing and removing the causes of pain. Last Thursday, I got my second massage in the Avenues Day Spa from Amy. And from now on, I will always treat myself to a weekly massage from her because she is the best massage therapist I've met in 23 years. If you ever decide to get a massage and get immediate results, I would highly recommend using Amy at Avenues Day Spa
