| Sadly I have no significant other to provide me with some free massage or no budget to get myself some professional one. I did some search, with suggestions of others on this site, and turned up with massaging your back by lying on some tennis balls or some stirofoam noodles. Any other suggestions, in a mean while I'm looking to buy some balls?

| Hey, Im surprised no one has gotten back to you yet. The BEST thing you can do for yourself is to buy something like a "theracane". there are three different products like it out there, and they are all pretty much equally good. i wont recommend any website(this is my first post here, and I have to see if others do that first..)
Anyway, good luck. |

| I'd love to have something too. I use a giant massager, but it is really hard for me to hold on my back. I usually end up putting it in a chair or against pillows and sitting against it (which can be dangerous if you aren't careful as I burned or pinched myself and it left a scar). I have a Homedics that I got from Wal Mart.
I have a friend who swears by the tennis balls. He has them on a string or rope.
I did a search on "theracane" - www.theracane.com. I don't think that will help me as my pain and muscle spasms are really deep and I have a lot of "padding"

| I suggest buying NOTHING and taking up some exercise that shall do better job than massage for sure.

| you can enroll on a short massage course - you will meet people to exchange treatments during the course and after.
massage schools do look for the models during classes - the treatment maybe won't be the highest quality - but free. Some schools offer as well cheap treatments done by the newly qualified therapists. |

| These two resources, asuming there are some massage schools in your area, are a good way to get a massage without paying "ful price". Of course the axiom "you get what you pay for" is also often true.

| Maybe you can barter your services for a massage? Just be careful of weirdos. |

| Massage is an alternate therapy. Yoga has nothing to do with massage. Please understand this is yoga forum. |
