Several major projects with long hours behind the screen gave me a great time at work \u2014 but unfortunately also serious shoulder pain. I\u2019d had issues before, but usually a heat pad or a physiotherapist\u2019s massage would fix things. After the last project, though, it got really bad. Every day I sat at my desk in pain, trying in vain to relieve the muscle tension and discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019d had a Shiatsu massage once before at my mother\u2019s place in Arnhem, and that had worked well \u2014 a full-body treatment that really targeted the painful spots. After a solid Google search, I found Louis\u2019s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Louis\u2019s massages have often helped me get rid of intense pain \u2014 the kind that leads to headaches and makes me snap at people. He advised me to start exercising alongside the treatments. I\u2019m not exactly bursting with athletic enthusiasm, but he managed to convince me. I\u2019ve now been working out for a while under the guidance of a sports physiotherapist, and together with the massages, I\u2019ve made real progress. I\u2019m even starting to enjoy the workouts. When I stay mindful and consistent, I can now sit at my computer pain-free most of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shiatsu massage gives you a full-body treatment that you can really feel \u2014 and feel working. Louis\u2019s Shiatsu has a bit of a Rotterdam vibe: not airy-fairy, but practical, with a cheerful beat playing in the background. I definitely recommend his massages to anyone \u2014 even just for relaxation \u2014 and ideally on a regular basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[146,148,151],"class_list":["post-33729","ervaring","type-ervaring","status-publish","hentry","category-neck-shoulder-complaints","category-rsi-repetitive-strain-injury","category-stress-related-complaints"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
