A day out...

Re: A day out...

It's very specific @outlander  with all strokes going in particular directions to drain your lymph back into the cysterna kylie (I think that's what it's called - years since I studied) which is the master of the lymph system.  This is advanced physiology and a very specialised form which MUST be done by someone highly qualified.  I did it as a speciality and wrote an assignment on it getting high marks but rarely found a client who needed it solely and I mostly used a combination of therapies depending on the condition of the client.

Re: A day out...

@outlander  you've got the concepts of shiatsu vs trigger point therapy.  

Re: A day out...

Oh wow @eth that is very specialised isnt it!
Ok thanks for explaining all these.
Ive been searching and ive found a place near me that charges 75 for a hour of massage choice. Theres 5 but im going with the swedish

Re: A day out...

Brilliant @outlander  At that price they'd better be good!  But I am quite sure you won't regret it.

I used to charge $25 an hour for people on low income or carers.

These days I only work on friends and family.  For exchange of services, not for money.

Re: A day out...

For half hour its 45
Theres another one for 90 an hour 😕😕😕

Re: A day out...

Though like you i dont think ill regret it either. They cant be that horrible @eth

Re: A day out...

Another is 95 an hour

Re: A day out...

Are these all prices from different people for swedish relaxation or at the same place for different types of massage @outlander?

Re: A day out...

Thanks for getting me to think about this so much @outlander.  It's really good to remember that I have a knowledge base and skills to contribute.  Just wish I had the energy.  These days I have to put my own health needs first to manage well enough.

Re: A day out...

These prices are all for a one hour swedish massage at 3 different places @eth
Though i think half hour would be enough just for a back massage wouldn't it? Im not really a fan of getting anywhere else done

Yes you do have lots of skills. I wish i had something to contribute like that. If i knew you id do lots of stuff for you haha
