Short case studies
Ms L - Head and neck trauma
Age:
Early 60's
Presenting and seeking:
Trauma to head and neck causing pain in her neck, head and face. Limited neck movement. Ms L did not want massage further than the top of her shoulders. She had bad experiences with previous massages (resulting in post treatment pain) and was looking for a safe environment where she would be heard, understood and where ‘no pain no gain' would NOT be on the agenda as she finds that strong type of work too traumatic. She was in search of relaxation and to find someone she would be comfortable with.
Result after 5 treatments:
Ms L wishes have come true. She is feeling very safe and supported. To ensure this continues I check in with her before, during, and after her treatment. Together, slowly but surely, we are regaining her confidence in being massaged in general, but especially further up her neck and to include her head. Her ability to relax and let go in the treatments is comparatively greater than in the first treatment. She reports her neck feeling much better with shorter pain and tension cycles. She has more mobility in her neck and shoulders and "a lot more energy as I'm not using all my energy to hold the tension"
Mr T - Deep relaxation, fluidity and strength
Age:
Mid 50's
Presenting and seeking:
Already very much in his body with having gone on various journeys of self discovery. He partakes in activities that keep him present, grounded, fluid in his body, and connected. He was seeking deep relaxation.
Result after 4 treatments:
Mr T enjoys the space I provide for his regular treatments where he can fully melt into the table and completely zone out. He is a fan of dance and thus enjoys the sense of movement my massage style createsThe "combination of finding the right spots and the movement created for relaxation". "Fluidity and strength" is important to him. He enjoys seeing "a nice friendly person and the spiritual upliftment and good mental wellbeing" the session provide.
