  • Injury Management

    Namaste I was not there last week when some of the students were doing post-event massage for members of a cricket club, but I learnt that one of the players had a severe groin strain, so much so that the best of efforts at massage almost seemed futile as there was still much tension in…

  • Massage for Low Libido

    Namaste Mrs B is in her 50s and menopause is really taking a swing at her.  Her husband has developed a sinus problem because they have had to install A/C in the bedroom to help her to deal with the heat, but while she enjoys the cold, he is struggling.  The air is too thin. …

  • Massage as an act of Kindness

    Namaste I was gently advised, regarding my remark about Jesus being my Teacher, that Jesus is not merely a Teacher, but that He is the Son of God. Yes, I heard that before. Someone sought to give us a picture of God by stating that He knows what’s beyond the heavens and the earths (yes,…

  • Massage Approved by Cats

    Namaste I went down Memory Lane the other day.  It was not the kind of Lane with a rugged path and picket fences with paling staves that adopted a diagonal position from sheer lack of maintenance.  No.  It was decked out with a string of booths made of glass and I could see what was…

  • Massage or Escort?

    Namaste Do I have permission to speak freely? Thanks. About 8am yesterday I put on my phone. It rang almost immediately. I answered and heard the voice of a gentleman requesting a massage. I asked when he wanted to have the massage. Around 11 o’clock, he said. It told him that was workable, then I…

  • Massage and Energy Work

    Namaste I was sharing with some students recently how I was having roadside conversation with one of my students from the South class. I was glad to hear that she is practicing, but not so glad because as she spoke I could see myself writing about her story, and I had promised myself to back…

  • Essential Oils

  • Inappropriate Touching

    Namaste I sat astride a poof doing massage on the leg of one of my elderly friends. Her heel was resting on the poof and her dress drawn up over her knee. When I had arrived earlier, she was lounging in her chair and eagerly got up and came to the gate to greet me.…

  • Massage and Ethics

    Namaste The phone rang. It was one of my clients who I sidelined the day before because there was too much rain on the outside and my love for massage does not include going into Port of Spain through flooded streets to get to a waiting client. He said he is here for a few…

  • Peers-in-Pairs Massage Therapy

    Namaste We are often told how unique we are as individuals and this is backed up by scientific theories. Most of that uniqueness occurs in the mind, and some of our thoughts are so unique that we dare not add voice to them, especially if we have seen others victimized (by family, society, or else)…
