There was a thread here some time ago on massage where the masseuse
person. Is there some book that describes many massages and their techniques. I have started going
on to these Qigong/Tuina massage places her in NY and find they do a good job. Usually though it
involves some massaging of the buttocks, when it is done it does not feel as if it is done
it helps the pain I feel in my joints due to cancer that I have. My regular massage therapist at a
chiropractice does not do it that way although she does work the side of the thigh. I'm just curious
if there is some website that describes the various massages from shiatsu, deep tissue, qigong.
Asian bodywork is quite different. One person recommended a tantric massage
desire for (in my opinion which is my own, I see it as no different than a prostitute, but again
that is my opinion). Of course with any massage one can always say no if it feels "uncomfortable"
which I have done on occasion but at times it may be due to not understanding how certain massages
are. This is coming from a man who at one point had a full-body massage with all his clothes on
(actually a suit) and the therapist looked at me like I was weird but gave me a massage, until I
became comfortable with someone putting their hands on my body directly. I know there must be
websites out there that describe various massages, does anyone know of them or a book or maybe
someone has knowledge of these different types.
