How do you choose yours? Maybe you are one of the people who have never tried any types of complementary or alternative therapy? You could be a connoisseur of Massage, Reflexology, Aromatherapy, Chiropractic, or Acupuncture and swear by your preference. How do you choose the right one in the market of abundant therapy treatments on offer? I have people who love Reflexology and testify to the benefits of the relaxing hour spent with soothing massage and reflex points to their tired feet, but when back report the boost of energy, vitality and stamina lacking before their Reflexology session. Some enjoy the treatment each week or every two weeks and others monthly or quarterly and they become very inept at knowing when to book their next session if not the few who book up well in advance because they enjoy set treatments over four week cycle. Many people who say; 'No I couldn't let anyone touch my feet are surprised because the touch is firm but not gripping and even those with ticklish fears are surprised that they can tolerate this art of touch. There is a belief that those with ticklish feet have something to hide. I think it is that they secretly love their feet being massaged. Unless you know differently?
Massage comes in many forms from Swedish, Aromatherapy, Deep Tissue, Sports and Hydro-therm. They vary in that the touch can be light and soothing, or deep with more firm strokes but should never really be painful although some people will experience some discomfort. Like the myth of working through your pain or when heavily sedated by painkillers when you don't know what further tissue damage you might cause. A massage should never be so uncomfortable that you suffer great pain. The hands of a good therapist will read the muscles being worked on and know the pressure needed.
Many people are surprised at the results using Deep Tissue techniques that improve their tension but doesn't cause them to jump or squirm in agony. You certainly have to work harder on sport enthusiasts and I mean those who may arrive solid because of leaving a longer period of time between treatments, maybe have arrived after moving into the area or when working through heavy training period, sadly some even with all the information available are too lazy to warm up and cool down. An occasional miss is fine but we all lead such busy lives and getting to the gym or home again and going for a run may have to fit between after school clubs for the kids, meals, shopping and getting out with mates or each other so sacrificed or cut back because of other priorities. The tension will build and start affecting the posture once you do any damage to muscle or group of muscles that will become chronic about six weeks later and possibly still continue to alter the other muscles around the tear or pull as your body's defence mechanism kicks in and you are fully aware of how you're walking or holding yourself. You should always get Diagnoses from your G.P. first before
starting any massage treatment/s and inform your therapist.
st.However, it will be better that you visit the web site/s for Essential Therapy Centre and investigate this little gem for yourself. You can even contact Gary direct to arrange a free consultation and find out how Bowen can help you...?
