Hi there!
I will admit it - I'm biased. I am an Advanced Practitioner of No Hands Massage and I love it! Personally if I could have every massage No Hands I would. I am very enthusiastic about it too and I don't apologise for that.
As with anything, depending on where the therapist is within the training programe will determine so much about the treatment. As you go through the training you learn the No Hands Massage techniques and seven Postural Principles, but also about how to make every massage the most powerful massage your client has received, and how to help your client to achieve a very specific outcome. The later part of this can be applied to any form of massage.
My experiences as a client is that No Hands is much more powerful then a swedish based massage, also much deeper and without pain. I also like the treatments as I feel they can flow so much more and really allow the therapist to tailor the treatment to your needs for that treatment. No massage by numbers work.
As a therapist I cannot tell you what my clients felt, only they can comment on that. However some of the feedback I have had has been: "That was the best massage I have ever had" (from someone who has had treatments all around the world in amazing Spa's), "I can't believe you have managed to loosen my lower back - no other massage therapist has been able to do that", "I feel like a different person" and my personal favourite "Wow!"
No Hands Massage training goes beyond the physical massage, its about helping a client achieve release that can be Physical, Emotional, Mental, Spiritual or any combination of the above. And part of that is what makes it such an effective treatment. I have seen people (clients) have their lives transformed through No Hands Massage.
If you would like to know any specifics please ask them here or PM me.
