Pain Relief Touch

First off– this place is in a building that is labeled «Clarifying Waters». I saw an Amazon Local deal– $ 39 for a 1hr head and face massage. I also saw on Amazon Local that there was a «craniosacral therapy» session for the same price of $ 39. I wanted to research on what to expect out of either options. I couldn’t find any reviews about Pain Relief Touch. I googled «craniosacral therapy» and found that it was a holistic, gentle approach– NOT was I wanted.
Therefore, I was sure to choose the «massage» instead of the therapy. I figured this was going to be like when I got head massages during my deep tissue massages (or even the Asian massages). I love when they apply pressure to your head with their fingers and hit all the nerve endings on your skull.
Galina was very warm and friendly. She explained everything she was doing as she did it. I seriously felt nothing. It was so «gentle» that it felt like she was just cradling my head for the first 30 minutes. I didn’t feel any release or tingling or anything. She pushed on my stomach a bit and put her hand under my back to say she was adjusting my sacrum. Honestly, I feel no different and feel like it was a waste of my money.
I think this was falsely advertised as a «massage». I even asked her what the difference was between this massage and the craniosacral therapy and she said there was none. they just advertised it as a massage also so people were more inclined to choose that option since most people don’t know what craniosacral therapy is.
If you’ve done craniosacral therapy before and know what it is, then by all means head here. She seems to know what she’s doing in that aspect. If you’re looking for a head massage, you will not get it here. I feel more pressure when I’m poked by my 1 year old niece.
