Therapeutic Massage has grown out of sports massage, and it is the latest service offered at Flow Sports and Relaxation Massage.

Working on problem areas on clients I often felt that I could do so much more than just massaging a small patch of relevant muscles. I’m a total sucker for a holistic attitude and have studied too many subjects that went underutilized.

If I treat a sore neck, I deal with the related muscles but what about the vertebrae in the neck which are likely compacted?

What about the relating emotional reason that probably should be mentioned as it helps releasing the muscles?  And what if I feel cold areas, should I not do some energy work as that could help alleviate a lot of pain?

So of course, I could not stop myself.  I threw the book out the window and started doing what I felt appropriate, using everything I had combined together.  I can be icing an inflamed area on your lower back while elbowing your glutes followed by short energy bursts on iced part. I might be mentioning fears or possible relationship issues as these often relate to lower back problems, and quietly using Ho’oponopono cleaning techniques. And then of course finishing up with some sideways spinal stretches for good measure.

And this wonderful crazy mixture worked out wonderfully for many happy clients! Tackling the issues from so many angles gives a deeper healing experience as it works on all of the aspects of the pain or injury. 

Of course as usual I have again reinvented the wheel; I soon found out that it is already an existing thing called therapeutic or medical massage, where the practitioner uses all the techniques she knows combined to enhance the experience…

Flow Massage’s own Therapeutic Massage service was born, and already a lot of people have committed to it – and happy to say they reaped the benefits of it in spades!
