My Story...
Have you ever wondered how Massage Therapists survive when they use their hands day in day out?
With over 20 years in the Massage Industry, I have found that when Massage Therapist's put their customers first, all too often they sacrifice their own health and wellbeing.
Research has found that 80% of Massage Therapists will have a work-related injury in the first 2 years after graduating. Scary statistics!
Picture this: it was 2004 in a busy summer massage clinic, full books, 10 Therapists working, and a long waitlist. One morning,on the busiest day ever, the head therapist, and owner of the clinic wakes up with a painful sprained wrist...
That was me. And it didn't stop there. Pain went from my wrist up to my elbow, shoulder and all the way up my neck. I had to face my therapists and clinic wearing a neck brace, not a good look! And you know what? I'm not sure what hurt more, my physical pain or the fact that I was looking down the barrel of the end of my massage career...
So I knew I had to do something to stay in the world I loved.
I started researching ways to help my hands. Stones were the obvious choice, but at the time the only courses were teaching hot stone massage. Good for heat disbursement, but not the result I was looking for. I was into deep tissue remedial massage therapy. So I purchased some stones, bought a slow cooker to heat my stones and began using them to assist me in my already effective massage treatments.
I included this new form of therapy into my clinic and customers started to only ask to have 'the stones please'. I started getting booked out. And my customers were happier and said they'd never had stones used in massage like I used them. So I was getting results quicker, less invasively and yes, all the gain without the pain!
One day, after finishing on a calf muscle of a new customer, the stones allowed me to really separate and get in deep, she turned to me and said 'can you please teach me what you just did?' I was flawed. I initially said no because I didn't have a name for what I was doing, the techniques weren't even named and I didn't have a training syllabus. By the way this customer was a fellow therapist from down the road who had heard about the techniques and was 'checking me out'!
My 'ahaa' moment happened.
I thought - if she wanted to be taught, there must be more massage therapists out there who's thumbs and wrists need saving BEFORE a painful accident like mine occurred? And so, the journey began.
Twelve months of course development, RemStone Therapy started with workshops crisscrossing Australia, speaking invitations, industry accreditation and today?
In a nutshell, as the Covid pandemic seasoned us to online training, I can now reach more massage therapists worldwide!
Today RemStone Therapy is a trademarked massage training technique and has had a facelift, (but no botox, promise 😉!) being available as an on-demand online training program.
I discovered the SECRET to a better Massage Experience...
You can too...
Many massage therapists unintentionally provide a discomforting 'pokey' massage, relentlessly pursuing deep tissue relief. But let's be honest, enduring pain during a massage isn't anyone's idea of a pleasant experience. Some may label it as 'good pain,' but there is a difference.
