Massages?

shelbyla · 01-21-2011, 07:50 AM

I know in P&I Dr. S suggests that people leave out massages for the duration of theiur P2. Anyone know why? Anyone have any experience with massages DURING P2? (I having a "treatment" tonight--not exactly a massage but massage-like--and would like to know what to expect.)

He does because of the oils used in the massage and your body absorbing them. I normally get a pedi right before I start P2 because I can't get one during. I also avoid going to the hair stylist during P2 as well.

A massage sounds fabulous right about now....I am jealous.

Ah...that makes sense. I might take my own lotion or something. Today is going to be a VVLCD so it may be ok but I'd rather not risk it. Thanks Peggy! You seem to be answering ALL my questions!

I'm a massage therapist and I switched from oil to gel and have had no problems working on 5 - 7 clients a week with my hands in massage gel.

At first I was petrified but it didn't seem to make any difference I still lost during my first round with no problem.

Enjoy!
