Edan Harari Founder of Kinetic Massage Therapy in NYC

PAIN IS INEVITABLE, it comes in all different shapes and sizes, physical and emotional, it’s a constant force in life that must be dealt with. How we deal with distress or pain is the pivotal factor that determines our level of fulfillment and happiness in our lives.

But, how much of our pain is merely fabricated by the mind? The reason behind this question is not to mock an individual’s real suffering caused by a devastating accident or disease, but rather, it is to look at the peripheral symptoms conjured up by a mind that is in turmoil over a particular ailment. Do we allow it to create more pain or more fulfillment?

In my experience, I have come to understand pain as a catalyst for two kinds of outcomes. The first is stagnation, and the second is inspiration. Robert Pirsig, in “The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance”, believes that stagnation or as he calls it, “stuckness”, is what often drives us to inspiration. He says that, “The solution to the problem often at first seems unimportant or undesirable, but the state of stuckness allows it, in time, to assume its true importance.”

In other words, being stuck is part of the natural process of seeing the potential for other possibilities. This past week, I had the wonderful opportunity of discovering the benefits of a Kinetic Massage. This is an extraordinary body rub-down that blends both Eastern and Western techniques which resulted in immediate alleviation from a sore neck and back muscle that drove me crazy for nearly a week. I now feel superb.

If you’re feeling a bit stuck with pain, then I highly recommend you to pay a visit to Edan Harari, his unique Kinetic Massage therapy will re-awaken your body and soul! Edan utilizes ancient acupressure points combined with myofascial release, joint mobilization, and passive stretching. I found it really interesting how there was lots of movement in the session which really helped release my severe muscle tensions.

Kinetic Massage Therapy offers TSH a 10% discount on any treatment. Members also receive a 30-minute complimentary reflexology treatment to be added to the first appointment that any member makes (i.e. by booking a 90-minute deep tissue massage, you get an additional 30-minute reflexology work added at the end).
