The massage was awesome! I really respect the expertise of mrtraction based on 30 years of his massage therapy experience. Now, my left shoulder and arm feel relaxed, free from pain. I've even started its rotation to return the range of motions. The fiber of my left posterior scalene muscle was like a rope before, but now it is very soft and free from tension. mrtraction has improved the mobility of my neck also that bothered me. Now, I can even sleep on my left side again.
After getting your massage, I have been maintaining the same miraculous state of mind, soul and body continually feeling your care, positive vibes, inner smiling and wishing me the best in health. Thanks a lot! Your massage was the best.
Mzen is a very friendly, nice person, fast learning, and creative to invent his ways to reach therapeutic goals.
Before getting my massage, I circled problem areas in the intake form with diagrams of the body. Palpating the lower halves of my legs, Mzen found stiff peroneus longus and brevis and realizing they have the shape of a feather. Then he invented his own way to soften them by moving his thumb along the rachis and making circular strokes around barbs. If I were him, I would use the straight strokes only, but his new way was more efficient than mine.
What a pleasure to receive massage from a person who really cares and tries his best to heal my body. I even asked him to alternate his thumb, a knuckle, and the elbow to select which of them works better. His elbow works the best! Then Mzen used the elbow to soften my left supraspinatus, increasing the light pressure to strong that worked exactly right.
In addition, he helped to nullify pain along my left arm from an acromion process through the biceps to the brachioradialis. He is skillful to feel the entire picture of fibers configuration under the skin. I shared with him how to find the major landmarks. He found the spine of the scapular, an acromion process, then he traveled through the intertubercular groove along the tendon of the long head of the biceps.
Then I asked him, "Did you feel the bridge between the greater tubercle and the lesser tubercle?" he responded, "Yes". Then he massaged that bridge (the transverse humeral ligament) to heal the pain. Then, he softened and energized my right knee, igniting a lot of fire inside, so I am soaring above the ground now, feeling so healthy, lighter and rejuvenated.
At the first time in my life, I met so intuitive person with a lot of wisdom and excellent palpation skills, who was able to maintain his focus for long time, instantly learning new anatomic terms and applying them immediately. Thanks the fortune to meet so talented, caring, hardworking person who has great potential to heal people. Mzen is highly recommended to exchange massage with!
Thanks the fortune for exchanging massage with GentlyTouch. He has excellent palpation skills, very intuitive, also he is a fast learner. Just I told him that my scalenus posterior muscle was like a rope, he found it immediately and applied the tip of his elbow to push and hold several points, then he moved the tip of his elbow along that muscle. Actually, it was an art and the most efficient techniques to reach the goal. Now I can tilt and rotate my neck any directions, having its normal range of motion.
I really appreciate that he spent 30 minutes to massage long and short tendons of biceps of my left arm and 30 minutes to massage my right knee, the head of the fibula and peroneals. Most of all, I love how his hands perform the technique "a horse chewing the knee" to improve metabolism, prevent arthritis, and make my knee light and flexible. I was feeling the flow of the energy along of my leg through the knee. GentlyTouch is a hard-working person who loves to learn and develop new useful skills. He is highly recommended for everyone to do massage exchange.
Corey is a professional doctor of chiropractic with 22 years of experience! What a wonderful gift to get his healing session. I had a lower back injured at the age of 17, it was successfully healed, but I have been always keeping awareness about my lower back to prevent to hurt it again. After Corey's healing session, I am feeling as a baby now. My lower back is flexible and completely free from pain. It feels light and healthy! Corey also worked with my knees to the feet. He knows human anatomy very well. I admire his amazing healing skills and very thankful for making me healthier! Thanks a lot!
Arun is talented, experienced and intuitive bodywork practitioner. The focus of his intention was directed to soften my muscles, to remove adhesions and purifying body fibers. He is a spiritual person who walked on Hindu trail to transform darkness into light, so I was feeling the Hindu spirit ignited my candles and to melt snows. Arun's massage is very therapeutic because it purifies the body and improves metabolism.
Phillip did best of the best massage, so I have been feeling healthy, happy, recharged, full of love and light, and soaring above the ground. Whatever Phillip touches with compassion, my body fibers were melting, purifying and rejuvenating. His aura silently communicated with my aura sharing the sense of annihilating of tons of karmas. Phillip massaged my neck and clavicles softly and gently, but he applied strong pressure for my occipitals, temporals, and later he used friction for my knee, lower leg, and feet to make them hot and flexible. It was very amazing therapeutic experience. Phillip is highly recommended to exchange massage with.
I've received great therapeutic massage from Manny. It was with elements of deep tissue, kneading, frictions, vibrations, stretching and trigger points release. He uses a very intuitive approach, always applying the exactly right pressure. His strong, hot hands molded to the fibers removing adhesions. I love to get massage from knees to ankles, especially after standing for hours. Manny moved his fists along of peroneus longus and brevis, tibialis anterior and posterior, and rotated the elbow around the head of the fibular. He transformed the soreness of my muscles into wings. It was marvelous experience!
We've exchanged massages with touchyng today. He applied elements of Swedish, Deep Tissue, and Lomi-Lomi massage. His long continues effleurage strokes by his forearms were very pleasant. He even massaged my back with one forearm, and my leg with another forearm. It was like a dance of Shiva. He uses his elbow for massaging very well, especially along paraspinal. For a while, I was getting massage laying on my right side, and then on my left side. His side-line massage made my lungs, kidneys, and ribs area so much awaken. Massaging quadratus lumborum, he melted the snow where the body likes to storage it. I am feeling 10 years younger and want to dance. Many thanks to touchyng for his great effort to try his best, for maintaining sharp focus to make every stroke right and effective. Many thanks for his genuine care, for his authentic intention to make me healthier and to lift me to the heavens. The massage room is full of blissing and positive vibes now, the ocean of nirvana.
Today, Nick and I exchanged massages. Nick is experienced, he can do deep tissue very well. Also, he used amazing wooden two-legs tool to walk along the spine. Each leg of the tool steps between the transverse process and the spinous process. It feels so good because it helps to open channels between the spine and internal organs. Walking along the spine makes paraspinal muscles to feel so good. Nick cares and always tries his best. He is very recommended to exchange massages with.
I had very nice and pleasant time exchanging massage with Carlos. I'm smiling now being thankful for genuine care of Carlos, his dedication, curiosity and great effort to learn massage, his creative way to heal, please and rejuvenate his client. What a pleasure to get additional positive experience recorded on my body's memory!
