The Massage That Knocked Me Sideways (Literally)

“Self-care… but make it survival mode. 😂 this is me recovering from the world’s least relaxing massage"

When you hear “massage,” you probably think of relaxation, soft music, and maybe even drifting off to sleep. Well… not this time.

My hubby and I went for what we thought would be a peaceful massage here in Czechia. Instead, the lady left me face-down in the table hole for a full hour and a half!! At the time, I thought, okay, maybe this is normal here… but when she told me to sit up, my whole world went spinning.

Suddenly I was dizzy, nauseous, disoriented — I could barely walk straight without feeling like I might pass out. On the drive home, we had to pull over because I didnt want to be sick in the car and drive for 30 minutes like a snail. 🚗🐌 Later that night… well, let’s just say dinner didn’t stay with me. 🤢

Today, I am still a little woozy and resting. Thankfully I’m starting to feel better now, but wow — who knew a massage could feel like a carnival ride gone wrong? 🎢

The serious bit: It was a reminder to always listen to your body and speak up if something feels off. No “relaxation treatment” is worth staggering home like a dizzy pirate. 🏴‍☠️

The fun bit: At least I got a story to tell, and now you get this blog post out of it. Next time, I’ll stick with foot rubs and let someone else risk the face-hole marathon! 😂
