Paul Bailey is a Berkshire based massage therapist with over 15 years of expertise.

He is also the creator of the Harmonic Muscle Release massage technique which he designed to provide intense relief without the discomfort often associated with deep tissue massage. This method blends deep pressure with slow, rhythmic strokes that are carefully timed to match your breathing and the soothing rhythms of background music. The result is a deeply relaxing and therapeutic experience.

We should never under estimate the value role that therapeutic massage can play in maintaining physical and mental health. Physical aches and pains can be soothed in a way that is also extremely relaxing.

In this episode of Fit For My Age Paul explains how and why the Harmonic Muscle Release massage technique that he has created works.

Now that I've paid the rent, it is time to make this episode of Fifth My Age. Hello Paul. Hello Michael, how are you doing? I am extremely well, thank you very much, apart from a few aches and pains. you know Sounds like you need a massage. I certainly do, I certainly do, but I hope you're well as well.

Paul's Career Shift and Professional Insights

00:02:16
Speaker
I'm very well, thank you, yes, good. Brilliant, brilliant. Could we start by you explaining a little bit about your history and how you came to be a masseur?
00:02:24
Speaker
Yeah, I've actually been a full-time massage therapist for just over four and a half years now, but I've actually been doing it part-time on and off for about 15 years, so so quite a long time. Prior to this, I was actually a police officer at them for the Metropolitan Police. I was a acting sergeant for the Wembley Police Station. So you got to see all the big games and all the big concerts?
00:02:47
Speaker
I certainly did, yes. It was quite a full-on place to be working. But ultimately, i I was really struggling with the shift work and looking to do something a bit different. And because I was doing massage therapy already part-time, I thought, I'm just going to go for it. And I had some savings, went for it, and I really haven't looked back since. Great. I said, massser and you said massage therapist. So I'm thinking there must be a difference between the two.
00:03:12
Speaker
Yeah, so a masseuse is a male massage therapist. A massage therapist is male or female, um and a masseuse is a female massage therapist. So they're they're kind of interchangeable. um You don't need to worry too much about getting it right or wrong, but generally we call ourselves massage therapists now.
00:03:28
Speaker
Right, we'll call massage therapist then. So, you're a police officer, acting sergeant, Wembley. I'd say you've got to see all the all the big games and the and the concerts, but of course you've got your back to the action whilst you're watching the crowd. Yeah, yeah you never you never got to enjoy anything like that. It was mostly crowd control and watching the crowd, so yeah, I kind of missed all of that. I've been looking at your website prior to us having this conversation and There's an awful lot of information and I highly recommend everybody taking a look at

Science and History of Massage Therapy

00:04:00
Speaker
that. We'll put the link in the description. The thing that strikes me is about how scientific the whole process is and the history that is involved in this as well. This is not some faddy type activity. this is This has got its roots going back thousands of years.
00:04:15
Speaker
Absolutely, yeah. it really It really is thousands of years old and it's almost to the point where um it's there's not a lot of more recent research done on it um very often because it's been around so long. You kind of you just know that it it sort of works, but they have been doing more intensive scientific and westernized research on the therapeutic benefits of certain types of massage.
00:04:43
Speaker
And it's really good to be able to sort of learn about that and then be able to integrate that into the massage techniques that I use pretty much daily. Now, my experience of being massaged is fairly limited. There have been things that I've had whilst I've been on exotic holidays or you all sorts of various different times. and my but but abiding memory of them is just being so relaxed as a result of the massage to having been lucky enough to fly first class on British Airways from New York to London one time and going into the lounge and having a massage there and then floating from the lounge to the aeroplane almost because everything was so I was just so lightheaded type of thing after this massage it was fantastic
00:05:33
Speaker
and looking forward to all of these things that you you enjoy in first class. getting onto the plane, sitting down in my seat, we got to the point where the pilot switches off the fasten seatbelt sign and they put the bed flat. And the next thing I remember is waking up in London when somebody's saying, we're about to land. And I missed out on all the first-class benefits. This massage just made me so... I'm even thinking about it now, just feeling so relaxed about it.

Therapeutic Benefits of Massage

00:06:05
Speaker
Why? Yeah, and it's interesting that that that sensation that you get from a massage and they're not all like that. You know, some people even don't want it. They want a very hard sort of fierce massage. They want to feel like they've been run over by a bus, basically.
00:06:21
Speaker
um But but ah most people do want it sort of toned down a little bit. They want to feel it that it's therapeutic, but they also want to feel relaxed and almost zoned out while the other massage is happening. And so that's kind of what I try and aim for. I want you to feel like something's been done, you know, you you've you feel something therapeutic has happened.
00:06:43
Speaker
But at the end of it, I want you to feel completely relaxed and zoned out and just like, you know, you've you've had a really good night's sleep after the massage. That's my target anyway, because there's something very therapeutic about being touched.
00:06:58
Speaker
Yes, yeah. It's it's amazing how how tactile we are as as beings. And you know if you if you look at apes or something like that, they're always grooming each other. And that kind of tactile behavior is is throughout the the animal kingdom. And it became particularly evident to me after all the lockdowns finished from COVID.
00:07:25
Speaker
people were just desperate to be touched and massage and have that kind of tactile sensation that they hadn't had for months. And and it was really quite heartbreaking that that people were so, so desperate to to get back to that and be touched again.
00:07:42
Speaker
I think there's an element of it, which is the, the repair of the muscle damage because you're manipulating the muscles. But there's also this release of stress by the the actual process. Like you say that the feeling of the release of the pain also leads to release of stress and you always felt very, very relaxed. Relax might not be the right word to use because I think there's a calmness, which is different to just feeling relaxed as a result of the massage.
00:08:10
Speaker
Yeah I think people do tend to either fall asleep or they sort of they drift sort of in and out of this this consciousness level and that's I think that's that's the beautiful part is when you drift into sort of unconsciousness and then drift out again and you're just hovering around that level the whole time So it means that you still get to enjoy the massage because you're not quite fully asleep, but you're still getting the sort of therapeutic benefit. And because you're in that state, you're going to be more relaxed, your muscles going to be more relaxed, the therapist is going to be able to work better and more effectively and deeper on the muscles that are having a problem.
00:08:49
Speaker
Because you just reminded me of one of the massages that I had was in in Cambodia on a trip to Siem Reap and Angkor Wat. I remember feeling as if I was completely wide awake, but completely incapable of moving. Yeah, yeah. Every muscle was just more relaxed than it had ever, ever been. After the massage it finished, there was a period of time where I'm i'm just going to move very, very slowly.
00:09:14
Speaker
Yeah, and that's that's actually a recommendation that you should get after a massage is take your time getting up, get up slowly because you are going to be a little bit lightheaded because while you while you're having the massage, your blood pressure will drop, your sugar level levels will drop as well. So if you have high blood pressure or diabetes,
00:09:35
Speaker
it's going to take a minute or two for your body to sort of re-engage everything.

Harmonic Muscle Release Technique

00:09:40
Speaker
It's actually quite risky for people to just suddenly jump off the table because they will fall over because they haven't like pulled all their muscles back into place again. It is a whole body experience and that is one of the things that happens with this harmonic muscle release technique that you have developed. I want to find out some more about that. Yes. What is it? Yeah, absolutely. So um ah Basically, I'm trained in several different modalities, so general sort of the relaxing, holistic style massage, which is or Swedish style massage, which is tends to be very relaxing, not terribly deep, but it's very soothing. Then there's also the deep tissue, which most people, I would say like 90% of the people that I massage want deep tissue.
00:10:25
Speaker
And that's usually a little bit deeper. You can start, you can really feel a little bit of discomfort in the areas that I'd be working on. And then there's sports massage, which it tends to be focused on more sort of discrete areas like ah hamstring or leg problem, or, you know, a bicep issue. And so you're going to be working very, very intensely quite hard, and it's usually quite painful. to to work on those areas. so So what I've tried to do is make it make the massage that i that I do at a level where you're getting the therapeutic benefit, but you're not in agonizing pain, but you are you feel like something's been done. And what I was finding is that
00:11:08
Speaker
As I was working on people, especially in sports massage, you the sports massage therapist will say, right, take a beat di dig big deep breath in and breathe out. And as you breathe out, they'll push really hard into the muscle that hurts. And so my technique is slightly different. Instead of.
00:11:24
Speaker
sort of forcing the client to breathe with my movements. I play pay very close attention to the rise and fall of the torso, the chest, um any sort of noises of discomfort that the client may be making, or if their leg or arms suddenly like twitch, showing me that there's like an overstimulation of the nervous system. And I'm paying attention to all these things.
00:11:50
Speaker
And with the rhythm of their breathing, I will then time my pressure and massage strokes with the client. So instead of me forcing the client to work with me, I'm working with the client's own natural sort of body mechanics.
00:12:06
Speaker
and ultimately what I'm also trying to do is in the background I'll have some music playing and with that music I'm also trying to sort of tie in the flow of the strokes that I'm doing with the music as well so you have the breathing, the strokes, the pressure, the music all blending in to one harmonious or harmonic variance and that usually is is what allows the client to become deeply deeply relaxed. In fact most of my clients fall asleep and I've got my elbow deep in their back but because it's all connected they end up almost like in a hypnotic state. So they don't realize what it is that you're doing to them at the time that you're doing it.
00:12:50
Speaker
To a degree, I mean, they as I said, they would be drifting in and out of consciousness. They would be sort of focused on the the pressure and the the the movement of the the strokes that i that I'm doing. Say, for example, at the center of their back.
00:13:05
Speaker
And it's almost like a distraction technique. They don't realize that the pressure is getting deeper and deeper and slowly more sort of poignant to the point where they they sort of then realize and then let go. And it's it's quite amazing to to watch that happen. But you mentioned that slipping in and out of consciousness, people aren't passing out. They're just falling asleep and then waking up and falling asleep again.
00:13:31
Speaker
Exactly that, yeah. So they they they literally are drifting off for a few seconds. Quite often, um I like to call it purring, but other people call it snoring. I was wondering about that.
00:13:46
Speaker
clients will start to snore while they're on the table and I can actually utilise that sound as well to time my strokes with their breathing and snoring because when you snore you snore when you breathe in so I know to release the pressure when that happens and when they stop snoring and they're breathing out again I can put the pressure back in again.
00:14:08
Speaker
So, when you describe the deep tissue massage, if it sort of sounded as if the ah client is following instructions from the massage therapist. Like, take a deep breath in, now breathe out.
00:14:24
Speaker
Yeah. What you're describing with the harmonic muscle release technique is much more, well, my ah HR professionals hat on, I'm thinking like, this is more of a collaborative, teamwork-y type of experience than you doing something to someone. Yes. It's you, like you say with the snoring, they're breathing in when they snore, and you know what to do in order to maximize the benefit of the therapy so that You're working in harmony with them as the technique suggests. You're working in harmony with them rather than them following instructions.
00:15:01
Speaker
Absolutely. And you're you're right. it is It is a very connected sort of teamwork um oriented experience. um But it's it neither neither one of us is directing it. it's It is very much the client will tell me how deep I can go by simply reacting in a natural way, which is usually breathing, snoring, twitching, that sort of thing. So it is there's a lot there's a lot of communication going on, even though nothing's being said.
00:15:31
Speaker
Well, I was wondering about how much is said because it doesn't sound as if much does need to be said. Not usually, no. I mean, it my i I try my best.
00:15:45
Speaker
to ah adapt the pressure, technique, the flow and everything to match how the client is reacting without them having to say anything. So when I first, obviously I explained to them, you know, what am I going to be doing, where to lie on the table, where to position your arms, et cetera. Once they're on the table, I will start to massage, say for example, their leg, and I will check in with them how is that pressure for you? And that's the only time I will ask them and speak to them until I ask them to turn over. And then everything else is done pretty much silently because I'm already communicating with them with their body. I don't need to verbalize a great deal to them to improve the experience. And I often find that obviously if I'm if i'm talking to them, that's going to pull them out of that
00:16:38
Speaker
the zone where they're drifting in and out of consciousness.

Holistic Health and Massage Therapy

00:16:41
Speaker
If I keep saying, Oh, can you move your arm? Is that okay? How's that? Is that too much, etc, etc. So I try and avoid verbal communication as much as I can. Thinking that with the verbal communication, if a client is saying, this is what I want, that might not actually be the same as what their body is saying that they need.
00:17:02
Speaker
very, very much. I quite often get people saying, oh, I've just got this shoulder. Can you just do my shoulders for an hour? And I have to explain to them that there is a thing called referred pain, which is basically you feeling pain in one place, but that's actually coming from a different location on the body. So quite often if it's on the shoulders, it could be coming from the mid lower back or even glutes and hamstrings.
00:17:25
Speaker
because you've got an injury somewhere else in your body, you're bracing and twisting and contorting your body to try and prevent that from being hurt again. And so you end up getting a crick in your neck. So if I spent an hour treating your shoulders and neck, it wouldn't actually resolve the problem because the problem isn't there, it's just the symptom. So it is important to get that communication across the client that Yes, I will work on your shoulders. However, I'd rather do a full body massage because there's probably going to be something else that I find that is actually causing this problem or at least ah contributing to it. You may find something else that the client doesn't know about. They've got the pain in their shoulder.
00:18:06
Speaker
you do a full body harmonic muscle release massage and you find something else within their body. I'm remembering back to the the massage in New York where I'm on the table and as soon as the massage therapists put their hands on my shoulders, they sort of whispered to themselves, stage whisper type of thing, oh, you're tense.
00:18:34
Speaker
I was yeah wondering how that works. How do you identify something that is wrong that the client doesn't actually know is wrong? What is it that you feel that tells you that?
00:18:48
Speaker
That's a really good question because it's something that it's not it's not something that you're i mean you can teach it but ultimately comes down to experience. You know what a shoulder or trapezius muscle should feel like. you should You know that it actually should be a smooth muscle from the sort of side of your neck down your shoulders.
00:19:10
Speaker
And that's sort of the top bit where most people complain they have problems. That muscle should be smooth. There shouldn't be lumps in it. So if you put your hands on somebody's shoulders and you give them a gentle squeeze and it feels like a packet of peas, it's not supposed to feel like that. It comes with experience, but it's almost, I suppose, you know where to touch. You know how much pressure to apply in order to identify what the cause of the problem might be.
00:19:40
Speaker
Yeah, so with with experience you you can identify sort of a a general stress knot or um something that is a an injury in the muscle where there's actually some inflammation and maybe some tissue damage. um And then also you can get down to little little tiny, tiny nodules um that I would normally do what we call trigger point therapy on, which is basically a very small pointed either elbow or or thumb or finger will be pressed onto this tiny little nodule to help that release. And yeah, so with experience, you you'd identify that this muscle shouldn't feel like this, this lump shouldn't be here, and this is the the various different types of lumps that I would normally deal with.
00:20:28
Speaker
I'm fascinated. I'm fascinated. How does it, how does it work? Or maybe the question is like, why does it work? I think it's, it's not just one thing. I think it's a combination of various different factors. So obviously the initial touch that the the sensation of somebody placing a a firm hand or arm or elbow on you,
00:20:53
Speaker
and giving that some pressure is it's soothing. It's like a hug, you know, it's it's something that is comforting.

Massage Techniques for Sensitivities

00:21:01
Speaker
And just that alone is going to release endorphins um into your body to help you relax. And just that alone is going to be beneficial for you. As you continue to work on the muscle, you might work a little bit deeper using different techniques, something that's going to warm the muscle up and improve blood flow. If you improve blood flow, you're going to reduce inflammation, swelling, improve the circulations of the area to remove any other toxins, um and also bring oxygen into the area for the healing process. So if there is damage to the muscle, massaging is going to um improve the the muscle tone as well. And if you think back to you know when you were a kid and
00:21:46
Speaker
you banged your elbow or hurt your leg or something and your mother would like rub it really, really quickly. That's exactly what she's doing. She's creating almost like a an overstimulation of the of the neurons, the the the nerve endings in the area that hurts to desensitize it. it we we you know We use it naturally without even thinking it. What you're saying is that if a muscle is injured,
00:22:12
Speaker
that it doesn't work in the way that it should work. So it's not actually receiving enough blood, enough oxygen. And the massage process actually restimulates the flow of blood and oxygen to the muscle to help with its repair.
00:22:30
Speaker
Yes. And again, this is why I would do a much larger area than just the muscle that was that was a problem. Because if that muscle is hurting, other muscles in the area are going to almost go into spasms to protect that damaged muscle. You're going to bend yourself in a particular way to protect even more, which is just going to work throughout the entire body. So yes, working on the muscle will improve blood flow, will improve the the healing process.
00:22:58
Speaker
But also working on the muscle will allow the other muscles to relax, causing fewer problems throughout the body. Listening to your talk about all of this just leaves me in awe of how complex the human body is. it's It's a little miracle. It really is amazing, but it's not perfect. So quite often when people say that they speak for yourself, now yeah and I'm thinking like, you know, hey,
00:23:28
Speaker
Hey, I go to CrossFit. I know what injury looks like.
00:23:33
Speaker
But yeah, it is ah it is a miracle. But when you do injure yourself, it's not perfect. Quite often, especially as we get older, yeah it just just doesn't heal 100%. There's always going to be a little niggle. There's always going to be a little something. um ah You re-injure yourself on a regular basis in that area or or something like that. So using Massage as ah as a therapeutic tool to help recovery and to keep you in tip-top shape, just like you would with any exercise and good nutrition and getting enough sleep. I think Massage has its place there to help you as well. It's not a standalone solution. You have to think about nutrition, sleep, exercise, the whole sort of works, but it's part of the holistic
00:24:20
Speaker
solution to lifestyle. isn't it Yeah, absolutely. I often tell my clients that you think of the massage as this will help you get moving normally and naturally so that you can continue to heal your body between massages with the things that we just mentioned. Is there anyone that wouldn't benefit from some form of massage therapy?
00:24:46
Speaker
I mean, there are contraindications. Say, for example, if you're recently pregnant, you're not supposed to have a massage for the first three months. um If you've recently developed cancer, then that you need to avoid ah massage therapy, particularly in the area that the cancer may be. um And there's a few other things if if you have, to for example, just broken on your leg. You probably shouldn't be massaging that right now.
00:25:10
Speaker
But otherwise, other than that, other than the contraindications, it really can be beneficial for pretty much everybody, even the people that that tell me when they book me, oh, my my partner had told me to book you, but I don't actually like massage. it's like Oh, great. Well, that's that's my five star review down

Teaching and Future Plans

00:25:27
Speaker
the toilet. and's But ultimately, they they find that actually they do find it beneficial. They do like the pressure that I was using on them. um And it again, it comes down to a bit more sort of communication. What I have interestingly really noticed is that people who are on the autistic spectrum or have ADHD or something like that have a very different
00:25:51
Speaker
experience to having a massage than anybody else does because those people are hypersensitive to sounds, touch, light, voice, all those kind of things. So you actually have to adapt it quite significantly to make it um beneficial and allow the people with ADHD or on the autistic spectrum to actually enjoy it.
00:26:17
Speaker
You're just adapting to the needs of the client. Absolutely, yes. Now this um harmonic muscle release technique is something that you have developed. So it's available to people who are in slough and the surrounding area. If there is a massage therapist listening to this and is interested in learning it, what's the setup for sharing it with other massage therapists?

Contact Information and Conclusion
