Healing fields

[ghandi]

Whilst not wanting to jump on the thread about back ache because this is not really about that, i really want to have a massage over the course of the festival, after a couple of days walking etc i feel drained. Where who and how much in peoples experience is a massage in the healing fields?

Massage in healing fields is a festival tradition for us and one of my favourite bits of the festival

If you head into the healing fields you'll find loads of people offering head, back and feet massage. Also spinal readjustment and stuff like that. Sometimes you have to wait a while but it's a lovely place to chill out anyway. They ask for a donation and I think I give £15-£20 for 20-30 minutes. Well worth it! We always go on Thursday to ease rucksack bag but I might go twice this year. Massage on Sunday would be lush.

Thanks i might take this up, will see how i feel, and yes i am getting old so it has more appeal though not as much as the music....... yet . The alcohol will kick in to eleviate most stress and strains but i think a massage on Thursday to loosen me up sounds really great.

I think I may do this too, it's about treating myself this year. This is my only holiday, so I want to see what else there is to do too.

definitely going to this year - got a hamstring tear that I have been still doing sport on and its made my back ache for a few months now. A bowen massage wouldn't go a miss. My friends always have a massage of some sort and say they are very good.

was gonna say, it sounds like a winning combo...

does it mean i'm getting old when the healing feilds start appealing more than the music fields?

Yes. Welcome to the club.

Without sounding like a killjoy, are these people suitably qualified to be messing around with knackered backs?

my better half always has a massage or 2 in the healing fields cos she does suffer with her back. I did properly LOL a few years ago after she shelled out big quids for 30 minutes of Reiki "massage"

I have a massage at the festival every year.

It is wonderful. Massage is a great and healthy thing anyway, but to have a massage at Glastonbury. This is such a hippy thing to say but I believe it to be true. It heightens my senses to the festival around me. I enjoy hearing (but not intently listening) the sounds of the festival around me while my body and muscles are being induced into a relaxed state. When it is all done, I'm ready for what is to come...whether that be partying or just chilling out.

Massages are a dangerous business, they relax me so much, my sphicter goes loose and i fart like an absolute demon. Horrific for all involved.
