Hi everyone,

There's a lot of topics about sore and tired feet from the walk and how to treat blisters but what about muscle soreness!? In West Australia we have a plethora of massage places to get those knots rubbed out of your shoulders, but what is the situation like in Spain?

Any good ones people would recommend?

Cheers
Frances

Hi.

I've seen a handful of signs advertising massages on the Via de la Plata, and I imagine they'd be available in all of the larger cities. I carried "The Stick" and used that a lot, although it's mostly for the legs. A tennis ball in a sock works great on your back. The top of your shoulders needs a massage therapist!

You may find that in most albergues there is information available concerning professional massage/muscle therapy nearby. In some, massage service is on-location by a hospitalero or resident professional.
