Today I wrote, deleted, added and changed a few on my website.... so if you have been here yesterday, you might spot some changes!
It is actually quite an interesting exercise to put into words, what your hands are doing and what massage is all about. There is already heaps of information about massage and its benefits available - I don't want to repeat it all. And you probably read it already somewhere else.
But what would you like to know? What is important for you, when you are choosing a massage therapist?
From my own experience ( and that's one of the great advantages of doing massage training courses - you get a lot of massages yourself! ), very often it is not the technique a therapist is using. It is the quality of touch, if he/she is fully present or thinking of her planned weekend trip ( yes, I do feel the difference! ), if he/she is following a routine, or is able to listen to my needs - which might change in the course of the session.
And it is the feeling I have, when I first enter the room...
So I will try to put into words, what you could be feeling....
