I never massage for stress relief, I massage to stop an irregular heart beat, stomach issues headaches and other random symptoms.

Almost all my massaging I do myself. I went to a few people and learned some things from some of them but most of them were just a fat waste of money and I also spent 4 years without steady income because of these issues. You can do arms and legs yourself and use a tennis or lacrosse ball on the back against the wall or floor.

According to TCM, the legs mostly connect up through the back and the chest, or on the side of the ribs. Sometimes it’s a problem of 2 or 3 channels and the symptoms show up in one channel show up in one organ only.

The point is that it should hurt. If there is no pain, it’s not a very helpful massage. Pain is release, but if it’s done right you can actually feel it releasing, the muscle will relax after you massage through the pain. Be careful with the dead nerve since you can’t pick up on the pain there, anywhere else you’ll have the instinct to stop massaging if it’s too much or awkward.

If you are skeptical or don’t put much faith in this I understand but I stopped a throbbing headache in about 5 minutes this morning so this is not woo woo energy stuff to me. It’s like trigger release but based on an ancient map of the body.

I really hope you feel better this year.
