Default Massage therapy

I finally have approval for treatment through insurance, and so went for my first RMT massage yesterday... It was fantastic... my husband noted a significant difference in me right away... IT's hard to explain... I still had a headache but the "bite" didn't seem so bad... I just felt more able to cope with the daily grind.... I look forward to going back next week!

Any suggestions of things I should be looking for in terms of massage?

Also, I'm now starting the reading for my MAsters... and was finding it difficult to focus on just one line at a time... I found that taking a paper and covering the rest of the page below what I was reading really helped me to focus on just what I was reading, instead of my brain shutting down at the sight of a paragraph!

When resting, symptoms are low. With exertion, I still suffer from fatigue, migraines, vision problems, problems thinking or reading, troubles sleeping, issues finding or getting words to my mouth when the headaches are bad, tinnitus, and thyroid issues which I think are due to the concussion. Seen one specialist, and now a few others through insurance review of my case. Hoping for further treatment.
