What is no hands massage?

As the name suggests, no hands massage is a form of massage conducted without the therapist using their hands. No Hands Massage is a relatively new and innovative type of massage that is rapidly becoming popular all over the world.

This is a very deep and powerful form of massage but is still exceptionally gentle. It is being hailed as one of the most powerful new therapeutic Massage treatments available.

The No Hands Massage is in fact so-called because the hands now have a much reduced role to play. Instead of using their hands, the therapist will use the ’soft front’ – the flexor muscles of both forearms, this results in a deeper much more relaxing massage.

There are numerous benefits to having a No Hands Massage both for the therapist and also to the client. The therapist will have no pain in the joints of the hands, this will also help in reducing the possibility of repetitive strain injury (RSI) to the therapist in future years, with a shorter massage time per client.

The injury-less No-Hands Massage technique was specifically developed by Gerry Pyves to help prevent pain in the hands and wrists of the massage therapist. This hands free technique involves over 70 different movements that make hand pressure unnecessary. In its place the therapist thus uses numerous other body surfaces, particularly the forearms in providing the massage.

The benefits to the client are improved health, a relaxing deep muscle massage without the discomfort you would potentially experience with a “normal” massage, better health and general well-being.
