After a year and a half we were finally able to get it together enough to find a massage therapist. Luckily the connection came through James' new job. She does house-calls too. And the price is beyond reasonable for the service (deep tissue massage).
While we prefer male masseuses, (it has to do with how deep, large, numerous, and hard the knots are - requiring considerable strength to maneuver), she was able to do some good work to start, and together we created a regiment to alleviate 75% of the pain over a six-to-eight week period. (it's understood it will never be all gone, but at least it can be managed a bit without OTC or prescription pain relievers)
Once again we're back on the table, just in time. It wasn't as bad as it was in winter (January to April) of 2011 yet, but some days and nights it was getting close in the same level of excruciating pain, with the perpetual headaches, tension, knots, head-to-toe body pain, sleepless nights tossing and turning. It only took about 45 minutes to the pain to start creeping back, but at least it was something.
So, there's hope...once again.
We're almost going to feel human again. Almost.
(P.S. still waiting for all the names of the sellers to be inked on the purchase agreement for the house *fingers crossed*)

Massage chairs are new to our world but in this short time it brought a whole new era of flexibility and stress removing theory to us along with lots of physical and mental benefits, that’s why a serve in Japan acknowledged us that almost every home in Tokyo have a massage chair and that is the only reason that the residence of Tokyo city are less effected by stress and health problems than other Japanese.
