Practicing the Art of Receiving Massage
Licensed massage therapists at Jubilee Healing Arts often
hear phrases like “How did you know I hurt there?” or “I didn’t even know I was
tight there!”
Modern humans are taught to ignore suffering with a “no pain, no gain”
attitude. The truth is that pain is the body’s message that something is wrong.
The older one gets, little nuisance pains become more like demanding
shouts.
“Regular therapeutic massage helps you learn to
communicate with your body better,” says Jen Killgo (formerly Adams), owner of
Jubilee Healing Arts. “By regular massage I mean monthly or maybe even weekly
if pain signals are really shouting for attention.”
Receiving massage takes practice because there is a trust
relationship that must be built between therapist and client. But the benefits
of learning to receive massage on a regular basis are fantastic. In addition to
building trust where one can let go and relax on the table, regular massage
helps in the following ways:
~ identifies hidden areas of pain and limits to range of motion
~ indicates which body movements may be beneficial to change
~ gives a basis for establishing new movement patterns
~ helps alleviate issues before they become problems
~ keeps the body moving in a healthy, natural, holistic way
~ teaches the art of listening to the body
“Some of this information simply cannot be attained
through a single session or through sporadic sessions. If lasting relief is the
goal, the practice of regular therapeutic massage is the answer,” says
Killgo.
