A Last Pressure Point Workout
April 5th, 2004, by Rich.
I may have a blister, but I can still have physio.
This was to be the last session before the marathon, and with two weeks before the big day there was still time for any bruising to heal, so Lisa was kind enough to really get stuck into my muscles with a deep pressure-point workout.
I know I mentioned this before, but it’s worth saying it again; this is not like a Swedish massage, this is like mild torture, the kind which a movie bad-guy with a conscience would use on the hero in order to prove that their pain-giver really does have the potential to inflict proper pain, thereby forcing the hero to tell all, without actually causing them too much damage so that they can still save the day at the end of the movie. It’s the kind of thing that makes you squirm to watch.
We had a nice curry afterwards, and I (honestly) accidentally ordered a hot one for Lisa. HA HA HA HA HA HA.

Hello, I am writting to you seeking knowledge.
I was quickly moving by a weight center and the dip bar smacked into my upper schoulder. Since then, when I move a certain way, I am dibilitated with extraordinary pain that puts me down quickly. At first I thought that I had bruised the top of my shoulder, but know I feel that I actually bruised a pressure point. is that possible and will it eventually heal?
Please respond,
Dee

Hi Dee, if you get lucky a physiological specialist may read this, such is the curiosity of the internet that your question may get answered. I for one, am not qualified in such matters so I can’t even give a smidgen of an opinion. If it were me, I’d book an appointment with a medic and get a professional opinion.
