I am sorry the massage did not help you. It certainly is not a cure. I also do not expect the effects to last. Still, it was exciting.
Perhaps you can find another massage therapist. I have found that if you go to one of those chains, they just massage.
I have also found that when the therapist works with or is recommended by a doc, such as a pain doc or chiropractor, they know and understand more about the body and ailments.

Have a great day!
