Recently we've been talking about client feedback quite a lot. One
theme that has come up a few of times in the past couple weeks is the
issue of clients who are receiving massages from a regular therapist,
being reluctant to tell the therapist about things they are not enjoying
during the massage. This may be areas of the body the therapist is
working, the way the therapist is working or some other matter.
Whilst
the client enjoys the massage on the whole enough to rebook, their
experience isn't quite as ideal as they would like. As therapists, we urge
you to let us know what you don't like about your massage so that we can
turn your experience from a good one to a great one!
We're
currently interviewing therapists in order to balance the therapists with
amount of work so hopefully will provide you with details of some new
therapist(s) next month.
The next draw for the home massage will
take place on May 15th
Regards
Richard and the Inner West

Sciatica |
 |
Many people claim to suffer from sciatica but what is sciatica?
Sciatica is a pain, usually in the back of the leg caused by compression,
irritation, or inflammation of the sciatic nerve.
There are several
reasons why the sciatic nerve could become compressed, entrapped, or
irritated. In "true" sciatica, the nerve roots can be compressed by
herniated, degnerated or displaced lumbar spinal disc. There are also
other conditions which can mimic sciaticic symptoms such as Piriformis
Syndrome where the sciatic nerve is entrapped by the piriformis muscle in
the buttocks.

Inner West Service Providers |
|
Part of our role as massage therapists is being able to refer our
clients on to other healthcare professionals when massage is not the most
appropriate modality. A couple of years ago we asked our clients and
newsletter subscribers for recommendations for health professionals in the
Inner West.
It is probably appropriate to revisit this every so
often as new subscribers join the mailing listing. If you wish to check
out previous recommendations or if you have any recommendations of your
own then please follow the link below.

Massage Course - Lomi Lomi |
|
I recently completed a three day massage course on the Central Coast in
Wyee in Lomi Lomi massage through Heartworks
Lomi Lomi. Now Lomi Lomi is the Hawaiian word for Massage. Literally
meaning to push, pull and knead and there are various forms of Lomi Lomi.
Heartworks Lomi Lomi is a healing system which brings balance, restoration
and heart- opening peace to the body.
The course is full- on for
the three days, each participant gives and receives about 10 massages! No
previous massage experience is necessary, just a willingness to learn, to
experience and to give a little. Even if you just fancy having a few days
out of Sydney doing something a little different (the course is fully
catered for with fantastic vegetarian food).
I would certainly
recommend Heartworks Lomi Lomi Level 1, great value, great company and
great fun. The next one will be in August (although have to admit I would
probably recommend waiting until the weather warms up a little and go for
the Sept or Oct options. Course dates are here
