  • Hair on body

    Friday, Aug 21, 2009 4:37AM / Members only

    Our Shaolin tendon stretching and massage has lots of friction on the whole body, increasing blood circulation. If you have lots of hair, when we are pulling on your tendons, your hair will get in the way and it will increase friction on your skin, which may result in minor scrapes, depending on the length of your body hair. Shaolin tendon stretching is not suitable for people with massive long hairs on their back and shoulders. Please shave your back and shoulder 3 days before coming to the massage.

  • The Myth about Deep Stronge Massage

    Sunday, Aug 16, 2009 10:28AM / Members only

    I read this ad on internet today about a guy who wants deep stronge massage.  It's a myth that deep massage is always good for you.

    People with medical problems for example such as HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE must not receive deep massage. It will increase his or her chances of "strokes."--From Canadian Medical Textbooks

    Ever since MJ passed away, I have been feeling sad. He was a great musician and dancer.

    My mother could have given him the natural healing method orginated from South Shaolin Temple.  We should help people, being one of the few massage therapists directly taught from the Shaolin ancestors.

    a moment of silence in tribute.....

Today when he was about to leave the studio he said to Merry: " I'm so lucky to have found you, Merry. You are one of the few people who actually knows exactly what they are doing!"

    Peter (Hockey) injured his lower back and left leg 10 years ago when playing hockey. His big toe on left foot was out of shape due to long-term twisted tendons. Right now, he cannot feel his leg sometimes due to the spine injury. Ten years ago, a doctor told him his spine was ok when he was injured, but he felt sharp pain at the time of the injury and for a long time he felt lower back pain. At that time he went to physio-therapy but it didn't work. When Merry was massaging him, she found out his lower spine is tilted to the left.
