Re: Water retention in the neck?
I’m a bit dubious of this - not that I don’t doubt the good intentions of this massage therapist, but I’m not sure how he or she is qualified to diagnose oedema. For all we know, you maybe just have extra fat in that area.
I remember getting a massage on holiday once and they told me my shoulders were knotted and something else which just sounded like mumbo jumbo. Talked about it with colleagues in work, including a doctor, and they just rolled their eyes etc. Not that I believed it in the first place, but I just wanted verification in case I was being ignorant.
maybe see your GP if you want reassurance but I don’t think you have anything to worry about.
