Better than Love: The Karada Experience

I've been dealing with back pain for the longest time that's why I try to get regular massages when my schedule permits.  I've tried and researched about different kinds of massages, from your usual shiatsu and Swedish, to legit reflexology from the ancient Chinese, to Thai massage. Any type of massage that will not only destress me but will also relieve me of my constant back pain.

Three years ago, Gus and I walked past this new "massage" place in Glorietta.  It didn't look much like a relaxing, therapeutic spa given the bright orange color of its walls and decors but we decided to go back and take a look at the place anyway because of the skeleton decal posted on its glass window.  It wasn't your usual massage place but what got our attention was the pictures of skeletons and the back with the caption AP Balance.  That definitely piqued our curiosity more.  At that time, all we found out was that this wasn't your typical massage rather, a technique that makes use of chiropractic, Thai massage, and Osteopathy principles.  The technique aligns the first cervical bone, the Atlas, with the main base of our body, the Pelvis, which is believed to relieve the body of its aches and stress.

At least that's what they're selling.  Flashforward to 2015 or three years after.  I haven't really gone around to trying out this new technique but all the stuff I got myself into -- internship, summer class, several school projects, and visa application got the best of me and my body.  I didn't know what else to do since I've been taking meds for the flu, but my back pain was just beyond bearable at that point.  I wasn't sure if it was because of the flu or if it was my usual back-pain-from-stress.  Whatever was causing it, I couldn't deal with it then so I decided to try out "bright orange colored spa" I saw a couple of years back.  I had a few hours to spare waiting for my mom, and the only other massage place near my internship charges P600 an hour for your usual shiatsu/Swedish.  If I were to spend around that much, I would definitely try that new technique instead so that's what I did.  Let me introduce you to the Karada Technique.
