Nasal & Sinus Blockage During and After A Massage

[Bob, no really]

I wonder if anyone can shed any new light for me on this perplexing phenomenon.

SO often during a massage the client will develop a blocked nose and sinuses, possibly with watery discharge. Obviously I have heard all the usual theories for this but just wondered what other experienced practitioners make of this?

I had thought it was due to the compression of the face cradle but have seen it happen even without the use of the face cradle.

One guy once said to me that he knew he was having a good massage when his nose became blocked and runny. Bizarre I know, but there does seem to be some sort of release about it that comes with deep bodywork.

What are your perspectives?

I always get a blocked nose, and so do most of my clients, I always thought it was as you were face down.

Interesting....
See, I usually do not get a blocked nose during a massage. And not everyone I massage does, face cradle or not.
Its still a mystery to me!

I'm glad its not just me! Every time I do a back massage or body massage, my clients get a stuffed up nose after about 15 minutes and sniff. I thought it was the face down position too but its a shame cos I feel it spoils it for them. (They keep coming back tho! )

It could be because elimination channels are being stimulated during a massage and the body is naturally releasing toxins etc.

Quite often my clients need to nip to the loo after a massage

The treatment room is usually warmer than most people would usually be in so that can also set the nasal passages off.

Some gentle massaging of sinus points is helpful - under the eye socket bone at the inside corners of the eyes, in the depressions beside the base of the nose where it meets the cheeks, and on the top of the cheek bones in line with the pupils (hope that's understandable!) I have two clients only who suffer this problem and the above works for them.

Yes I get a lot of clients that get the same effect (and me when I have the occasional massage ), I have always put it down to both being face down and the massage effect on the lymph system.

Just Jag
Once after I had completed a massage on a client, she informed me that she didnt know her nose was blocked until I had finished. The next time I saw her, she said she had a light nose bleed on the way home from seeing me.......and I just put this down to nasal de-congestion as a result of the treament!

Sorry Melsy, I should have clarified that the client is, at this stage face up! Although, with one lady who seemed to suffer more than most, we did the sinus clearing at the start and it certainly improved the situation.

I really cannot tell anyone the joke - sorry!
