Deep Tissue Massage and Cellulite Reduction: What You Need to Know

Question
Do you believe that cellulite can be reduced by deep tissue massage? I have been told so, but was wary to try it without more information. Also, are you aware of any pressure points or reiki techniques that can break up cellulite. Thanks so much for your time and consideration.

Answer
Thanks for your questions, Laura.

Both of your questions can be answered NO! Regardless of what anyone else might say, the only combination approach that will break up, reduce, eliminate (or any other word you would care to use) cellulite is DIET, EXERCISE, STRETCHING AND PLENTY OF WATER AND REST.  No bodywraps in spas, no massages, no pressure points or Reiki alone will accomplish what you want.  They are all hyped gimmicks...don't waste your money on them IMHO.  Also, IMHO, what cellulite you do have can be blamed on genetics, pure & simple.

Is that a smile or a frown I now see on your face?  ;-)

Hope that answers your questions.
