"Why do people pay money for unqualified massages and spa treatments?"

I recently came across this post.

"Why would anyone pay money for a massage from an unlicensed person or for some kind of spa?"
They don't understand functional anatomy or physiology, and only possess superficial knowledge that the average person wouldn't understand.

When I read this,
To be honest, this is how I felt.

Ah, so you didn't see anything.

Because people don't pay for massages or spas for "knowledge" or "correctness."

What many people are looking for is

I want to feel safe, rest, surrender without thinking about anything, be touched without being judged, and return to my own body.

These are very quiet and deep desires.

Do you understand functional anatomy?
Do you have the necessary qualifications?

it is,
It's not the main reason why the body relaxes.

Rather,
"What's wrong with it?"
"This is the spot we should aim for."
"Are you touching it correctly?"

Being looked at in that way,
Many people experience physical tension.

The human body is
Prioritizing correctness over correctness,
It senses whether it is safe or not.

When I felt relieved,
The nerves calmed down,
Blood flow occurs,
As a result, the muscles relax.

Therefore, people
It's not about whether you have the qualifications or not,
I choose based on whether I feel safe being touched by this person.

In the Swedish massage I teach,
What I value most is the "way of touching," which comes before any technique.

Do not evaluate.
Don't try to fix it.
To entrust and surrender one's weight.
Leave some room for the opponent's body to return to its original position on its own.

Knowledge is important.
But knowledge only has meaning when it is used to avoid destroying a sense of security.

If you are qualified but not selected
"I have the knowledge, but I can't get results."
If you feel that way,

What needs to be reviewed is,
It's not about the amount you've learned,
It might be about the way you feel when you're touching something.
