Pain, Massage Therapy and Aromatherapy uses

Working with others is where I have gained the most experience.

Almost all the people that come to me for massages are people that are feeling pain somewhere in their bodies and are doing something to ease that pain. I do chair massage in a health food store where people come find alternatives to a pill centered health system.

There are quit a few people in their eighties going in and out the store and I talk to them all the time. There is one common thread with these people. All the healthy people in their eighties are active and almost all of them exercise daily. They do good diets, exercise, get good rest and do body cleanses to keep their bodies free of toxins.

Well anyway when I am massaging people I feel what is going on in their necks, backs arms and hands while performing my massages. 

The amazing thing I have found out it is if I use essential oil based oils on them the massages go much better then not and they respond much better to the massages with essential oils.

Another amazing thing is that their bodies are telling them in body laungage and signals to the brain where the pain is coming from and the intensity of the pain. When I massage a knot between the shoulders I can feel that area relaxing and I also feel and sense a relief from the brain when the knot begins to break up.

The amazing part of this is the body sends messages to the brain and if the brain can do something about like rubbing it the body senses this and relaxes and stops sending the message. If the brain does not do anything the pain remains and can stay there for a long time is nothing is done. 

When the area gets massaged it increases the blood flow and gets the oxygen, food, new cells and detoxes the area all at the same time. The Circulatory system in our bodies does a lot for us. (I like Cayce saying about taking care of your self. Circulatory, assilimation, rest, and elimination)

If a person is experiencing pain the body is telling the brain that something is wrong. Very often it is a blockage of the circulatory system and the body is sending a message to the brain for help to clear out the blockage get the brain and other things flowing in the area. I have worked on people who have had blockages and knots and have suffered for weeks until enough pressure and movement has be applied for the normal circulation to return and all that pain goes away…

There are certain areas in all of us that are prone to bad circulation and hence pain. Massage, heat and cold can help you get the circulation going again and the pain will go away.
