I will check it up.
Are you a boy or girl rolfer Quirk?
Sorry to have to ask and I am not homophobic, just that I can not relax if somebody is touching my body and has dangly bits between their legs.
So, girl or emasculated eunuch will be good thankyou.
I am not a Rolfer yet.
Rolfing training is split in 3 units. Graduates of the first unit are qualified massage therapists. After completing the first unit all graduates have to practice as massage therapists before they can move on to Unit 2. Only graduates of unit 3 who have also finished a supplementary course in movement training receive certification and the right to use Rolfing’s trademarked logo and call themselves Rolfers. I am between units 1 and 2 and will do Units 2 and 3 later this year. Therefore I am not a Rolfer, but a Rolfer in training.
And definately a boy when I last checked. You’re also welcome to ask my wife. Will have to wait a year or two before you can ask my daughter as she will have her first birthday party on January 29th and has only mastered DA-DA and MA-Ma so far.

No offence taken and maybe I need a different username. You’re the king of your body and only you can determine how it feels and interacts with the space and people around you. Have to say that the massage I practice is not feel good skin stroking and slapping. The name says it all, deeptissue massage. Neither does it need to be painful. I only apply as much pressure as the patient requires.
There are two practicing Rolfers in Taiwan. Both are women and Taiwanese. I met one in Boulder when I was doing Unit 1. She was just finishing Unit 3. Can get her contact info if anyone is interested.

Yes, as I mentioned previously deep tissue massage got me walking without pain again after a marathon run. That is probably the only real massage that is worthwhile and you end up walking out feeling half the weight you walked in with.
[quote=“Quirk”]I am training to become a Rolfer and practice deep tissue massage as taught by the Rolf Institute in Boulder, Colorado. (rolf.org/)
Anyone interested in experiencing the benefits of massage or need more info contact me via PM.[/quote]

Near Hsin Dien Cityhall MRT station. I have a room in my house setup for massage, but can also do housecalls as I have a portable table and car.
Ok, here’s the lowdown.
I met with Quirk today and got a full body deep therapy massage for one hour at $500.
Quirk really knows what he’s doing and I was left feeling good and relieved.
He has a room in his home where he practices and changes his sheets after each client. Good.
He uses a nice soothing lotion on your body after he massages that part. Good.
He even massaged my feet. Very good.
My shoulders is one of my problem areas and after he was done with me, there was no more stiffness there! Magic!
Thank you, Quirk. I enjoyed our session today. Happy birthday to your baby girl!
Er…to which part do you refer?

Does anyone know of a place where you can study massage therapy in Taiwan (preferably Tainan)? I’m really interested in this and would like to learn more…
Oh yes, and I mean massage THERAPY… NOT Happy ending massage 
There are many ways to inflict pain – why learn this particular one? Just exotic? 
Hope you find some help. I’m not happy with massage here but perhaps there are some qualified accupressure therapists or qualified people.
Cheap massage, they don’t even know where the muscles are and invariably inflict pain with no benefit whatsoever.
I’m going to try a Thai place in Jhung Li. Sunflower Thai Massage. 03-2807171. I’ve been told the massage is good and no ‘extra’s’ are offered but will take no responsibility if anybody goes there.
Perhaps post your experience here if anybody goes Thai.
Foot massage: the massaging of the feet; reflexology representing all the organs whole body.
It can be find at various hospitals.
As for as the blind masseurs is concerned; they can be found at various locations throughout the city.
