You love the convenience and comfort of a home call massage, but the massage therapists love it, too. They explain why they love their work…
Esther
‘I’m so lucky to be able to take such satisfaction from my job. Before I go to see someone, I’ll always be thinking in advance what they might need. What stretches will I do to help them, will they need a heat pack? I enjoy my journey time on the way to do home visits – I use it to think about my client and plan what I’ll do.
‘I get instant gratification from my job! I always get a kick out of going to see someone who’s twisted up in pain on the table, and then floats out an hour later after I’ve massaged them. It’s great to know I’ve done that.
‘I also love being able to support people emotionally. Sometimes I can intuitively tell that somebody has some problems, even if they don’t say anything. Touch can be very supportive and occasionally people cry at the end of a massage, as it’s such a release.’
Dev
‘Like many other therapists, I was attracted to the profession by a strong desire to help people using natural methods as opposed to medicine and drugs. Most of my clients have very stressful jobs and have tight shoulders and necks. I review the range of movement they have in their neck movement prior to the treatment, and then again afterwards, and they’re always surprised how much more movement they’ve gained.
‘It’s wonderful to help people relax, too. I have one regular client who’s a busy mum – she loves the relaxation that Thai yoga massage brings to her life.
‘From my own personal point of view, I enjoy the relaxation of actually giving the massage, entering into the ‘zone’ and feeling my hands get warm – it’s like a meditation practice.’
Aaron
‘It’s a great privilege to go into someone’s home, see that they’re in pain and be able to ease their discomfort. I know how much better they’ll feel after a treatment and it’s good to be able to do something to help them quickly.
‘I love meeting new people, too. I see all sorts of different clients and it means my job is interesting every day.’
