I apologize for the radio silence on my blog for the past week but for most of that time I have been experiencing excruciating back pain.  Once or twice a year, I throw my back out and I am down for the count for at least two weeks. 

This year I experienced something new and am up and moving within a week.    Last Thursday, when the pain became unbearable I walked through a red door three doors down from Spaces Gallery on the Superior Viaduct and my life changed.  Walking through that door and down a flight of stairs into Lipstick and Razorblades eventually took me to McKala’s Reflexology Studio.

The soft lighting adds to the soothing relief that I felt as she massaged my feet and found the source of my pain.  Our feet are connected to all the other parts of our body and are the answer to many of the aches and pains that we feel.  Since my visit, I have researched reflexology on line and it is truly fascinating.  When I reluctantly got up from the massage table, I felt balanced and even, actually I was balanced and even.  The twinges of back spasms that I had been experiencing for the past five days were gone.  A bit of soreness remained, but all and all I felt a sense of well being that I hadn’t experienced in a month.

Procrastination has always been my enemy. Mckala and I talked about reflexology at the Ingenuity Festival, and I mentioned then I wanted to come to her studio, but life got in the way.  Believe me, don’t let routine get in the way.  If you have a sore back, if you just feel out of synch, if your feet are constantly telling you to sit down and get off us, visit McKala at Lipstick and Razorblades.  You will be glad that you did.  Daniella of American Pink Collar describes the experience in this post and so does Jill of Writes Like She Talks in this post.

I have added McKala Everett’s Exploring Wellness to my Business Page.  She is another local business owner providing balance and relief to our community.
