I've been engaging in sport lately and in addition to a litany of old injuries, I've also been experiencing acute tightness in my left glute. There is a massage place nearby but the reviews are mixed with negative ones like this: It is bad massage and bad ladys I don’t recommend anybody to try it.
In the past, I've found massage to provide only temporary relief. I will sometimes rub into my psoas and that seems to alleviate my stiff lower back. But is it worth the expense to pay someone else for temporary relief? Some years ago I paid for a few inexpensive massages and they seemed to get progressively worse. During the last one, the matronly lady insisted that I completely disrobe and then spent the whole half hour working my glutes and groin, at a time when I had no issue with either.
