Yesterday I had the pleasure (and in some ways the pain!) of a deep tissue massage by Cindy Mollineau, a mobile massage therapist that I found in the Sutton Complementary Health Register.
Cindy came to my house with her own massage table, aromatherapy oils and music. (I was glad for the music - the only chillout music I have are acoustic versions of rock songs it seems!)
Cindy has been practicing deep tissue massage for 6 years. She started training in 2005, and she did course after course - and got hooked on it. (This is something I have heard many alternative therapists say - sometimes they are originally a patient themselves and they are converted.)
In many ways the massage was what I was expecting - Cindy got into the tightest areas of muscles, and worked to ease out some of knots. Needless to say that I felt a lot freer when she had finished, but I continue to have knots the size of golf balls in my shoulders (at least that's what they feel like to me). This is not because Cindy didn't do enough - she did more than enough. It is simply a consequence of having left these knots to form of their own accord for so long that they seem rooted in their place, and really I think the best way to eliminate them would be a week's worth of 2 hour massages.
Maybe I will treat myself to that at sometime.
