Having worked as a therapist for many years, I have always wondered how to truly relax.
Of course, massage techniques, choosing acupressure points, and massaging the muscles properly are important.
No matter how hard the therapist tries, the client may feel nervous. So how can a therapist know if a client is relaxed? I realized it’s through breathing.
When I give a head spa, I feel the rhythm of the client’s stomach breathing.
My therapy is corresponding to their breathing intervals.
That’s why people can get a deep relaxing session, like yoga.
