Great massage in Leon today

@Tippy100 , welcome to the forum. Thank you for advertising Javier's excellent services on your first visit. Would you please tell us how the rest of your camino is going? And your friend a few days in front of you?

Please.... a. Masseuse and masseur are terms no longer in use; they are now considered derogatory and refer to people not trained and, especially in North America, to people who are sex trade workers. Javier is a highly trained massage therapist; I met him in Sahagun. He works not only with pilgrims, but also with people in Leon who have had injuries, accidents and who have medical conditions who want relief from their symptoms.

Also, b. masseuse is the feminine term; masseur is the masculine term.

I have been a Registered Massage Therapist for 23 years in Canada, and with my two years of para-medical training, have dedicated 25 years of my life to this area of healthcare. As well as massage to reduce stress or to relax someone, I have training in oncology massage--massage care for cancer patients and cancer survivors, pre- and post-natal massage, the specialized Bowen Technique for many medical conditions, and am now in training to offer manual lymph drainage, a highly specialized therapy for people with lymphatic insufficiencies, and have worked with car accident injuries, severe medical conditions, overuse conditions and--even pilgrim injuries on this last Camino walk I just completed.
I feel 100% qualified to provide my justification; I am not a masseuse; neither is Javier.

Thank you.

Masajista is the correct term in Spain. But really, peeps, we are missing the point - chiropractor, massage therapist or masseur, I doubt if Javier is worried about the nuances - the guy is highly recommended at the end of a long day on the trail.

Haha lovely discussion after a simple massage recommendation

I was the friend Helma referred to; fantastic massage, highly recommended! I came with a painful injury (knee tendonitis) and felt like new after Javiers magic!
