Deep tissue massage pre op

Okay, I have been reading up on how this releases toxins stored in the body and I was wondering if this might be something beneficial.  I am trying to get into the "healthiest" preop condition possible so I can cruise through my appts and hopefully get a date without any snags.

Does anybody have any experience with this?  thoughts?

Go for it! Just be sure to drink plenty of water. That way your body can flush out the nasties.

I go for regular deep tissue massages. Afterwards, I soak in an 'epsom salt' bath...really helps to flush away all the toxins in your body. I thought it was a bunch of hoohaa when I first read about it but I promise it works!!

I would like to start doing this presurgery but I am now thinking I won't be able to afford it.  I spoke to Andrea (or Julie?) and I propably won't be able to "cluster" my visits so I will have an additional $300 expense (gas/food/hotel)  for every NUT/psych/surgeon visit plus thier actual expenses, so I'm thinking this idea will be the first thing trimmed from the budget....... boo.  :(

I get regular massages . I love them and they are worth it to me. Granted they are mostly covered with my benefits at work. I doubt they are really that helpful though for overall health though and I doubt they would help in getting through the pre op stuff any faster. I get them for muscle soreness mostly.

Oh I know nothing will get you through pre op faster, I hope I didn't sound like I was trying to scam my way through preop!   I only was wondering if it would be good for a person's body to have less toxins for when they are recovering, maybe helping with energy levels, etc. 

Sorry for the misunderstanding.   I love waiting....... lol

 Oh I didn't mean to suggest that ! Just think in terms of money , time etc I suspect it isn't worth worrying about . I love massage but it is something I could give up easily if I had to . I think of them as relaxing and helpful in getting the kinks out but I am doubtful about the whole release of toxins part .... I'm a skeptic lol .... Much better off spending time getting more into shape and eating healthier ( ha! Easier said than done!)
