How to Do Shiatsu Neck Massages

About this Author

Richard Neil is a licensed, certified massage therapist. His technique of healing bodywork incorporates the various modalities in which he's been trained: deep tissue, Swedish, shiatsu, acupressure, reflexology, and kinesiology. The "recipe" of the massage is defined by the individual client's needs. The overall goal is a calming, enjoyable experience, one in which the client will walk away feeling more energy, more flexibility, better alignment, and relief from muscular tension and mental stress. Richard also incorporates his training in kinesiology and muscle testing to strengthen specific organs with accupressure and meridian alignment, creating better circulation and a stronger lymphatic system. Richard is a graduate of The Pacific School of Massage and Healing Arts in Gualala, California where he studied with the master, Dr. Fred Mitour. He also attended The Massage School of Santa Monica furthering his knowledge of Deep Tissue work with Marcel Salomon.
