She is my massage therapist.
The other day she introduced me to muscles above and along my jaw that I had no idea existed. I'm sure that the Pterygoid's sole purpose is to provide an outlet for inflicting pain. You can find it if you place your index finger behind your earlobe and against your cheek. The outter Pterygoidal muscle runs along your jaw. I've never known such excruciating pain in my life as for the several minutes Allison spent working on my jaw.
Everyone carries stress in different parts of their body. It would appear that I've found where my stress is harboured!
At chiro, Dr. Mike suggested a few simple stretches, and THESE are ones I rarely forget to do!
Turns out that the world is indeed a small place. Allison's Mom is living in the same extended care facility as my Mom -- and, they know each other.
Yesterday's massage therapy was cancelled because Allison had a conference to attend.
Ah, spared...
