I am envious of Frank. Just think, your very own massage therapist. What bliss! :-) Just joking. <grin>. Seriously though, have you experienced any PD cases, Frank's or others, where muscular cramp, stiffness, etc. is aided, long term, by massage? It is not just the inconvenience of stiff muscles we endure, but the pain of cramp, and the physical exhaustion of having muscle groups in constant tension; kind of like a static marathon, if you know what I mean. :-) Jim
