The Key To Headache Relief


THIS IS WHAT BRINGS THEM BACK FOR MORE

The reason I got into massage therapy was due to my own chronic headaches.  Working in the medical world at that time and having all the modern medical conveniences available to me was still not helping to relieve my headaches.  It was then that I walked away from Western medicine and tried what Eastern medicine had to offer in massage therapy.  I clearly remember after my first massage the feeling of headache relief, which was a miracle for me to finally be experiencing. 

Having worked as a massage therapist for the past 15 years, I don’t think I've had one week go by where I haven’t had a client come in who was looking for some relief for a headache or migraine.  I truly believe that it was because of my own treatment for headaches that I received my greatest education on how to treat headaches.  My formal training, combined with what I knew from receiving massages, has really been the key in helping others.

The last client I treated for headaches stated that she had been going to the chiropractor and what he did for her felt good for a very short time but it didn’t last as long as she had hoped it would.  After she described the pain being located in her upper traps, near the top of her spine, I was able to concentrate my efforts in that location, along with trying to loosen the muscles groups both above and below where she had pinpointed.  

When her massage was over, she kept repeating that she could already feel relief and couldn’t believe how much that it had her helped her right away.  The following morning I was pleased to receive a text from that client telling me how much better she was feeling and what a wonderful massage therapist I was.  It is stories and experiences like this that gives me great job satisfaction and makes me look forward to seeing my next client in hopes that I can also make them feel much better when they leave my office.

Review of Biotone Dual Purpose Massage Creme

I have been a massage therapist for 15 years and have tried several commercial products available on the market.  During this time, I discovered Biotone Dual Purpose Massage Creme, which I still use to this day. I demand the best for my clients, and Biotone Dual Purpose Massage Creme fits my need perfectly.  I have not found a product that even comes close in comparison.  

One of the reasons I like the creme is because it’s fragrance free.  I have several clients who are sensitive to perfumes and essentials oils and none of these clients have had a reaction to this product.  Being that it is fragrance free, it makes it simple to add essential oils to the creme to obtain the desired fragrance.  

I have worked with some products that are either too sticky, too greasy, or absorb into the skin too quickly but this creme glides over the skin effortlessly.  The consistency is almost like butter and as you work with it, the warmth of your hands and the client’s skin makes it become a very workable.  It maintains its’ consistency throughout the massage causing less product to be used.  

Another advantage over the other products is that the creme is grease-less and does not leave oil stains on the linens.  When I have had a massage myself, I never like how I feel oily until I can shower.  With the Biotin Dual Purpose Massage Creme I did not feel oily at all. I have been pleased that many of my clients have commented that it doesn’t leave their skin feeling oily and it washes off them easily.  When I use this product I work from a large gallon container and I have found it is very easy to transfer to the smaller containers that I use per individual client.  


I typically go through a gallon of creme every few months and though this creme is some what higher priced then other products, but when you break it down it only costs 25 to 50 cents per massage which is very reasonable.  As a business owner, I recommend Biotone Dual Purpose Massage Creme a wise investment for customer satisfaction.
