I love traditional massage, we put our bodies through a lot, and the pain and discomfort that arises from repeating the same actions, working out to hard, etc. warrants a massage for sure.
But what do you do when massage isn't enough? when you still have some discomfort that massage just isn't relieving enough?
Our bodies also hold emotions and stress in certain areas of the body, and they often coincide with our lovely sayings - shouldering the weight of the world, pain in the ass, pain in the neck- and there is also a common feeling associated with certain areas of the body: the hips often have to do with change, and how your foundation is, the knees have to do with being stuck and not moving forward in your life and the list goes on, and sometimes back pain has to do with not being supported enough (either from self or from others). The list continues.
Not every ache and pain is just because of the muscle, nor is it specifically about emotion, often it is a combination of the two. I have found this to be incredibly true for me. I have had reoccurring aches and pains that massage alone just couldn't resolve ( there were no specific injuries, or repetitive strain problems like carpal tunnel) I would feel great for a few days after, but then they would creep back in, frustratingly so. Which is what has led me to pursue my passion for Fusion Massage Therapy, because the inclusion of energy work has made all of the difference for me. It has allowed the mind-body connection to be restored and re-balanced and has proven more successful for getting rid of aches and pain for me, while addressing the underlying emotional component. Fusion helps you feel better physically, and emotionally, and really, isn't feeling better the whole goal of any holistic treatment?!?
