While in Ottawa I developed a sore lower back. It feels like all the muscles are super tight so bending or twisting in certain directions sends shooting pains throughout the area.

I’ve been treating myself with ibuprofen and heat but it is not getting any better so yesterday I decided to call my massage therapist.

The problem with having an awesome health professional is that they are quite often super busy. I can’t get in until Friday. Yerg. I will make do until then.

This got me thinking though, pretty much every health professional that is super awesome is super booked up. Sox’s doctor is hard to get in to see. Our massage therapist. Sometimes I even have to wait longer than I want to see my physiotherapist.

Unfortunately when I want to see these people, I generally need relief right away.
