BSBT's Touch Therapy

>> Saturday, October 2, 2010


Got the Experience
BSBT's passion for massage therapy is becoming matured while some of the students working on their way to perfectness. Making their clients feel better is the focus of their work; not the clock, assuring a generous and thorough therapeutic treatment. The perfect opportunity arose at a private studio conveniently located in the heart of BSBT school campus along Halsema high way and near the beautiful Bell Church area. For them to expand their practice and focus on giving clients a thorough treatment. A great care and concern for clients and that comes through in their attention to each individuals' specific needs as well as therapeutic touch of some beautiful students. Karera wa tottemo kerei desu yo!!!


Okay! I have a bad back I also have a bad neck, bad arms bad hands and headaches. But it could be worse! I attribute all the above mostly to overuse syndrome that I have achieved by working 4 straight years in the field of Import and Export as well as in Real Estate in Arab world. It is an unforgiving kind of job and the more you use, it seems ‘the more you lose'. Add to that a few athletic blunders (shocking considering I'm so buff) and I have always been a set up for painful muscles, headache and back. All this said, over the years though, I’ve been fortunate I try and keep things on an even keel by exercise, diet, braces if need be, and therapy. Surgeries have been recommended to me several times which I have politely declined. In my quest for obtaining relief, however, I found myself at one point being referred to a chiropractor which is out of reach on my budget. I wasn’t too keen on this recommendation because I have never embraced the idea of purposefully letting someone well – embrace me – and squeeze the living crap out of me while calling it an adjustment! It took many people a long time to convince me but I finally succumbed – and surprisingly I found my chiropractor to be a Godsend at a time when I could barely turn my head! If anyone out there has never had a massage before, check it out before you go – make sure someone can vouche for the massage therapist and that they are not able to bench press your weight – 50 times. Make sure that have has not grown up on a farm lifting veggies onto a lorry to load them! Make sure that they are not a woman on testosterone! Seriously – just check it out – and bring flash cards or aids with you to the initial interview and quiz them as to what the big X means - so that if you don’t want a certain part of your body massaged they’ll actually cease and desist! Well - they say your first time is special – wow – what an understatement! Unfortunately, BSBT therapeutic massage last for only one day.. Thanks and kudos to you ladies….
