I am blaming "my bloody lovely Mac" for the rise of my neck and back problems and miss floating in a pool!
We curl up in bed, on sofas, benches and even on carpets with our devices, use them on the kitchen and living room tables, balance them on our knees or bring them on subways, to work on the go.
It seems that my income can only be secured, using those digital "monsters" on a daily base. I have to find a solution to prevent more pain attacks. I am one of those who is not working in a posture-friendly environment for many years, mostly traveling or living in different homes.
“These devices are incredibly useful but must be used sensibly,” says Tim Hutchful, from the British Chiropractic Association. “Laptops are only designed to be used for short periods but many people spend hours at a time on their laptop and they are now being used in the home as substitutes for desk computers.” - Source Working from Home: Back Health Risk
What to do? Yoga, pilates, steam-rooms, daily walks, stretches, gym....pffffff!!!
Recently, I was told by doctors, if I am not more careful, I will end up with massive health issues. We are not getting younger! It's better to be aware, to prevent pain early enough.
I believe in "The Healing Power" of massages!!!
This was my miracle man, back in Bali in my villa.
My airbnb villa was a healing paradise for many of my guests and those regular sessions kept me balanced.
The practice of using touch as a healing method derives from customs and techniques rooted in ancient history. Civilizations in the East and West found that natural healing and massage could heal injuries, relieve pain, and prevent and cure illnesses. What’s more, it helped reduce stress and produce deep relaxation. - Source

Massage therapy began as a sacred system of natural healing. However, cultural shifts rendered it a disreputable form of indulgence for extensive periods of history. Enduring these turns, massage has experienced resurgence in modern times. - Source
It was more than time to finally look for a proper massage again, the ones I used to have back in Bali every 2nd day in various different spots, mostly close to the ocean air.
Aroma Spa in Sanur Beach was my favourite!

Foot Reflexology!
Outdoor full body treatments for max 20 Euro per hour
A jump in pool to cool off, after your massage is heaven!
Living in SE-Asia was perfect for me!
A Flower bath even more
I could manage spine and neck damages, I carry with me, since I had a very severe car accident in 1976. I was lucky to survive, while my friend died next to me.
I need massages regulary but in Europe those sessions are costly and way too expansive. I paid 15 Euro more/less per hour in Bali. That's a huge difference to the price of 50 and even more here in Vienna but I have no other choice and pay for.
So, a couple of days ago, I went online, looking for a good place to get a massage, to loosen up my tight muscles around shoulders and right arm, causing heavy nerve pain.
I found the perfect Traditional Thai Massage Spot around the corner where I live, to please my tired and run down body.
With the sound of chimes, the smell of incense and Buddhas around, I felt like I am back "Home".
I hope that I will get back on track soon .......
