My hands are famous! (also: rolfing or acupuncture?)

[rissymonster]

The clock is now ticking on my (right) hand/forearm's 15 minutes of fame. The "glove" is actually a reindeer sock.

In other news, my forearms are getting all tendonitis-y (e.g. trying to stretch out for the hand-holding triggered some ouchy), and our dojo cranial sacral guy has indicated that I might benefit from rolfing. Others have mentioned acupuncture.

As though to trigger me into further action, my back got progressively achier throughout the day yesterday, and when I laid down with some ministrations from Bob (hot toddy + hot water bottle) I slept for approx. 18 hours last night/this morning/this afternoon.

Have any of y'all been rolfed or acupunctured, and if so, do you have recommendations for either/both (for practitioners, preferably in the Bay Area)? I have tendon-y type tightness to varying degrees in both legs, both forearms, and my lower back and shoulders/neck get periodically achy.

In a strange way, I generally feel really strong and am generally in ok (not great) shape, but the migrating pain is less than ideal.

You might ask samtheeagle about Rolfing. He's unlikely to know any practitioners in the Bay Area, but could probably tell you a little bit about it.

Dragon Lady swears by acupuncture and has an acupuncturist she likes a lot. I recommend dropping her an email to get her acupuncturist's contact info.

I used to get perforated at Urban Refuge in downtown SF, and found them to be excellent.

rolfing is not funny; acupuncture is pretty good

There is an acupuncturist I went to a couple times in Oakland Chinatown. I know I won't be able to find her info, but she was in that block with the plumbing supply store??
