Hello there,
Em here sharing a about my massages experience
When in Thailand there are many teachers each with their own ideas.
One of them who I look up too always gave massage where the client would be biting their lips and tapping the floor as if this was a wrestling match.
Naturally I asked if the pain was necessary?
He told me that he could see where the body was misaligned and he was only making the changes needed to move things back into balance.
To me this gave me the impression that change is painful
Then later I came across someone else who told me that there should be no pain, when massaging someone you should respect the body and listen to it.
that was before he taught me therapy treatments and I was doing the same tapping and lip biting dance as everyone else after!
So i surmised that therapy was painful
Still later I found a teacher that never used strong pressure but kept the body in motion.
its a from of fluid and dynamic massage that resembles a dance.
When practicing it with clients I found that it the mind was relaxed.
Everyone has told me they felt reborn, a complete change of energy overcame them.
so far this is the style the I prefer but it is not so applicable to specific problems so if you tale a therapy massage with me expect a little pain and lip biting!
Also this week we have a shiatsu master that will work in the studio
send us a mail if you would like to book a session with them or myself
