Massage therapies are considered as the most valuable discovery in human history due to its success in dealing with all sorts of problems within the human body as well as with the mind of the affected individual. Effectiveness is the key focus when looking for the right type of bodywork that will suit the client’s medical needs. However, regardless of the effectiveness and benefits of the selected massage therapy, risks and dangers are also included and can’t be neglected as a part of the package in any type of therapeutic massage.

There is one technique though in massage therapy which uses quite safe patterns and methods to avoid the risks that are common in any type of treatment. Tibetan point holding is considered as a safer method in achieving emotional release. The release of unwanted emotions and memories within the human body is regarded as a powerful method in dealing with physical problems as the mind and body is considered as interconnected. This type of therapy is known for its use of the somatic ideas and principles in natural healing.

The therapy is unique in a way that it uses more than one therapist to perform the techniques during the massage therapy session. Physical evaluation which is common on most types of therapeutic massages is done before starting on the pressing and holding process of the treatment. This is done in order to get a good idea on the physical condition of the client to determine the level of medical needs required for the therapy. Through that assessment, the therapists which are usually composed of about five persons decides on the simultaneous transition and release of the technique. There is no standard duration of each hold in this type of technique as it is usually based on the condition of the client.

The benefits a client can receive from the therapy aside from the emotional release are the improvement in his or her current mood, heightened senses of wellness, self-esteem, recovery from anxiety, depression as well as the difficulty from sleeping disorder, significant improvement in the flow of lymph, blood, and oxygen within the body, boost in the immune system, and the relaxing experience the client can have with each therapy of Tibetan point holding technique.

On the other hand, the risks and dangers related to Tibetan point holding would be the damaging of tissues and nerves in the manipulated area, mostly on the body meridians. Improper use of force or pressure during the pressing technique may result to the bruising of the supposedly treated body area. Although the therapy doesn’t require the therapist to be certified, the people who are interested in trying out this amazing treatment should consider looking for good therapists that can reduce the risks if there are any. Well trained therapists in the art of Tibetan point holding can greatly affect the outcome of the massage therapy.

I would advise anyone who would love to try the technique to weigh first the pros and cons and to conduct a bit of research before heading to the therapist.
