“Is sound massage actually a massage?”
It’s a question I’m asked often.
The answer is… yes, but it’s very different from a conventional massage.
With Peter Hess® Sound Massage, therapeutic sound bowls are placed on and around the body and gently activated.
You remain fully clothed and comfortably supported on our warm padded massage table, while the sound and gentle vibration on your body soften tissue tension guiding you into deep relaxation physically and mentally.
There is no deep physical manipulation tissue work.
No oil.
No vigorous kneading.
Instead, the experience is much quieter. A invitation for your body to go to deeper state of harmony as you are ready.
You notice the sound.
You feel the vibration travelling through the body.
You become aware of areas that feel particularly receptive to the sound. Areas of tension melting away.
And you may simply find yourself becoming very still in the moment.
It is one of the things that makes Peter Hess® Sound Massage so different from a traditional massage.
It isn’t trying to be massage with sound added. It is sound and vibration doing the body work. Gentle peaceful guidance back into balance.
Sound is the therapy.
