I had a 90 minute session the other day, to hopefully help work out some chronic areas of stress and strain. I know the limitations of what 1 session can accomplish, and I was hoping to get some pain relief for a couple of days as a result of the treatment.
I really loved the combination of Reiki with Shiatsu and massage. I'm a Reiki Master of 17 years experience, so I really value that energy adjustments can have in bringing bodywork to a more profound and healing level. But sometimes you simply require physical work as well, and this combo really did a fantastic job at addressing both those levels during the session.
My only critique was that I indicated on the intake forms that I was quite experienced with deep pressure, and preferred a strong touch. I found most of the massage portion to be much lighter than I am accustomed to, and I would have felt more immediate relief from deeper pressure.
That being said, though, the methods that he used were extremely effective! The next day I was sore all over - in the good kind of way, where your body is realigning itself after being out of whack for a long period - so I'm looking forward to going back and seeing what else we can accomplish using his wonderful skills!
