Alternative Complementary Health

Massage with EFT in our London clinic is the most popular service. From stressed-out London executives to busy London Mums, everybody loves a massage. Massage is about touch, relaxation, and recovery.

There is something particularly satisfying when your massage therapist locates the exact place where your pain is, and you can really feel that part of you being released. This massage becomes most painful at the part of us that seems to be causing us the most pain. After a while, our muscles and joints feel so much better and we can smile again. A good massage is just amazing when you have an ache. You more or less walk in, lie down, and walk out feeling so much better. Simple.

Sometimes, a special form of acupressure cleverly applied during the massage can make all the difference. The acupressure sweeping the world in popularity is called EFT. EFT is short for what in my opinion is a misnomer of Emotional Freedom Techniques. The reason why I question this nomenclature is that as a trained scientist, I am uncomfortable about the “emotional” perception of EFT. EFT, correctly applied, stretches the meaning of “emotional” way beyond any layman definition could possibly extend to. Also as a massage therapist with experience of working with top injury specialists, I have seen EFT do things that cannot be attributed to emotion in the true sense of the word. On the other hand, the body does store trauma in the muscles, and part of this trauma is indeed emotional as one may well expect. Whether emotional or otherwise, the body seems to store kind of the wrong electrical charge in the muscles following an injury, and EFT can release this. In most cases I have worked with, this release is permanent or very long-lasting.

This may mean that an expertly-applied EFT massage can do more for you than a painful massage. A massage does not have to be painful to be good. On the other hand, if you enjoy a really hard massage, you can always have both. And you can continue having massages even after your muscles have totally released the memory of injury. A massage is great.
