Just wanted to say thank you for doing this Tunesmyth, it's a lovely idea, and seems to have already helped several people.
Also - I'm in a different time zone to JMG, so missed the chance to reply to temporaryreality on the Magic Monday thread, but I wanted to say thank you for your concern, and to reply regarding your question: generally, yes, massage helps my wife, but only when her joints aren't already very painful! If they are, it unfortunately becomes agony to touch anywhere near them (it's a genetic condition which sometimes gets better or worse - currently it's in a "much worse" phase). I will check out the book you mentioned though, it sounds interesting.
