REMEDIAL
MASSAGE
This is deep massage, concentrating on specific problem areas
to relieve muscle tension, ease chronic pain, maintain flexibility,
and so on. However, the intention is not to cause you pain.
When giving deep massage, I am constantly looking for “the
edge”, where you can feel that work is being done but
can relax into the massage and let go. Massage is a joint
effort, and if I am causing you so much pain that you are
tensing up, I do not believe we will get results.
Sometimes
after a deep massage you may feel achey the next day, just
as if you have taken unaccustomed exercise. This is perfectly
normal and should wear off within 24 hours
AROMATHERAPY MASSAGE
As a trained Aromatherapist, I often use essential oils to
enhance the effect of the massage. These oils have many properties,
including analgesic, muscle relaxant, calming the digestion,
relaxing, invigorating, and so on. I will use a blend of up
to 3 essential oils to suit your needs, individually mixed
in a base of sweet almond oil.
The
massage itself can be relaxing or invigorating, gentle or
deep, and can range from a half hour back, neck and shoulder
massage or leg and foot massage to a full body massage lasting
sixty to ninety minutes.
Gerry
Pyves' NO HANDS® MASSAGE
This revolutionary massage is a good example of how massage
does not have to be painful to be effective. It works on a
systemic level, stretching and relaxing the whole body so
that tension simply dissolves. Originally designed to protect
the practitioner from injury, many clients love the profound
nurturing qualities of this style of massage.
I was fortunate enough to be
a trainer on the NO HANDS® massage training team for many years
