THE gentle giant of massage is making a huge impact. Better known as No Hands, it is soft and gentle, but goes far deeper than normal massage.

It is powered through the strong hip and thigh muscles of the therapist in Tai Chi-like movements where body weight is lowered into the client through the soft forearm.

There is a range of styles – repleting, connecting, energising, nurturing and releasing – and many conditions can find relief.

The gentle colon massage has been successful in treating many digestive problems, including irritable bowel, while the gentle head massage works wonders on migraine and tinnitus.

After 20 years as a massage therapist Caroline Phillips, right, has had her work revolutionised through this method.
