Massage, Osteopathy, Body Language

I had a massage therapy this past week (military spouses - we are covered, if we have a prescription, for $300 a calendar year) due to pain in my right shoulder - my GP was appalled that I would not get help for that so she wrote me a script. Off I went to a local lady who is Wonder Woman! She examined me for 30-40 mins and told me my spine is off. My head is not centered, which is due to my spine twisting and turning. She asked me if I had an accident to cause and then we talked some more. Then she asked if I had any kids and how the delivery went. My mind went uh oh. Is that what caused all of this? I have had lower back pain for the past 2 years. I blamed my bed, I blamed sitting in the hospital, I blamed myself. Apparently it may be due to my spinal changes. She recommended an osteopath (we are covered for $300 a calendar year without a prescription) so I am off to see her on Tuesday. Wish me luck! If she can help fix me I will be grateful.
Oh and my massage, which was done knowing all of this, was awesome! I have had no back pain since, and I have slept like a baby!
