Air-conditioned massage in Seattle

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009 | Featured, Massage, Seattle

I bow down to the SEO gods and post this to my Fellow Seattleites:

If you are in pain and needing some good deep tissue massage… I have AC in my massage office.

Massage is like zen warrior voodoo prayer in the heat.

All I can concentrate on is

the tissue in my hands,

the body that is on my table

and the safekeeping of my client’s emotional and mental states.

Beautiful massage.  I give beautiful massage in this weather.

The cranio-sacral massage in the heat is momentous. The Myo-fascial fibers especially, are affected. The  holding and tension patterns that create the alignment in a given body relaxes with greater ease in the heat.

This is significant because in Seattle it is often cold and wet.  The body’s tissues get smaller and denser when the outside temp is cold.  The dampness of our weather also makes me think of the wet/cold “cutting to the bone”  a sensation I am grateful not to have right now.  These cold-induced sensations cause the body to tense up.

Warm weather heats up our deep tissues.   This heat is GREAT for bodywork.  I’m getting some really great results with some clients today who have especially tight and knotted shoulders.

I concentrated mostly on her right shoulder.  I was able to gently and yet quite deeply reduce the density and irregularity of the adhesion in her shoulder by pressing my fingertips, from two different angles, into the space between her ribs and her right shoulder blade.

I usually cannot reach into her sub-scapular area with such ease.  It was rather fulfilling, I must say.

Yay, heat.

I’m still glad I have AC.
