プールで泳ぎたいなと思っていたら、整体でちょうど市民プールの情報を教えてもらった。膝が痛かったり新しい靴がまだ届いていなかったりで、しばらく運動できていなかったので久しぶりの整体だった。
I’ve been wanting to go for a swim lately, and coincidentally, my physical therapist told me about a local public pool during my session today. It had been a while since my last visit because I hadn’t been able to exercise due to some knee pain, and I was also still waiting for my new shoes to arrive.
運動不足だから足の疲れは前よりマシかなと思っていたけど、施術を受けてみたら全然そんなことはなかった。今回は肩周りを中心に上半身も少しやってもらったところ、自分でも驚くほど上半身も凝っていることがわかった。
I went in thinking my legs wouldn’t be as tired as usual since I hadn’t been working out, but I was completely wrong. This time, I also had some work done on my upper body, focusing on my shoulders, and it turned out that my upper body was incredibly tense as well, which surprised me.
どうやら下半身の疲労があまりにひどすぎて、上半身の疲れをきちんと認識できていなかったみたいだ。上半身をほぐしてもらったおかげで少しスッキリはしたけど、その分、下半身にあてる時間が短くなってしまった。
It seems my lower body was so exhausted that I hadn’t even been consciously aware of the fatigue in my upper half. While the upper body massage did help me feel a bit refreshed, it meant that less time was spent on my legs, which felt like a bit of a trade-off.
そのせいで、お店を出たときのいつもの爽快感が少し薄れてしまったように感じた。わたしの体は下半身に疲れが溜まりやすいみたいだから、次回は下半身をメインでお願いしようと心に決めた。
As a result, when I left the clinic, that amazing feeling of relief I usually get was slightly less intense this time. It’s clear that most of my fatigue accumulates in my lower body, so I’ve decided to ask my therapist to focus primarily on my legs during my next visit.
今月はポイント還元のキャンペーンもあるし、また近いうちに行きたい。それまでにはしっかり運動して、体をいい感じに疲れさせておくのが目標だ。今回は天気がもってくれて歩いて行けたけど、次も晴れるといいな。
I’m definitely planning to go back again this month, especially since they have a point-back campaign going on. My goal until then is to get in some good exercise and tire my body out in a healthy way. Thankfully, the weather held up today so I could walk there, and I’m just hoping it doesn’t rain next time.
To be continued.
