THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE
Therapeutic Massage can work wonders on the places you hold your tension.
Chronic stress, tension and pain don’t have to be a part of your life.
This massage focuses on the muscles, tendons and fascia underlying the surface layer of muscle, releasing the concentrated tension with slow strokes and deep pressure.
Once released, the muscles are able to get proper blood flow and oxygenation.
This technique may leave you with a little soreness right afterwards, but you’re sure to feel better and more relaxed than you have in a long time.
SWEDISH / RELAXING MASSAGE
General Massage for relaxation and perfect for first timers. Reduces stress and tension.
It effects on circulation and nervous system. It stretches the ligaments, muscles and tendons keeping them supple and pliable. Main purpose of Swedish Massage is to move fluids, increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles. Promoting health and well being.
SPORT MASSAGE
it is typically used before, during, and after athletic events. The purpose of the massage is to prepare the athlete for peak performance, to drain away fatigue, to relieve swelling, to reduce muscle tension, to promote flexibility and to prevent injuries. The technique often involves a blend of traditional Swedish Massage Shiatsu and stretches specifically designed to treat athletes. Each sport uses muscles groups in a different way. Sport massage is designed to address those specific concerns and way differ according to the sport the athlete plays. It helps heal strained muscles and allow healthy ones to reach peak performance and maintain it while minimizing the risk of injury.
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
Deep tissue massage is used to release chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles not with the grain. Deep tissue massage helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue. Deep tissue massage usually focuses on more specific areas and may cause some soreness during or right after the massage. However, if the massage is done correctly you should feel better than ever within a day or two.
HOT STONE MASSAGE
Hot stone massage is a variation on classic massage therapy. Heated smooth, flat stones are placed on key points on the body. The massage therapist may also hold the stones and use them to massage certain areas of the body. The heat warms and relaxes the muscles, which allows the therapist to apply deeper pressure, if desired. The warmth of the hot stones improves circulation and calms the nervous system. People also get hot stone massage for a variety of health conditions:
Back pain and aches
Poor circulation
Osteoarthritis and arthritis pain
Stress, anxiety and tension
Insomnia
CUPPING AND GUA SHA
Entire body. This is accomplished by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart.
CUPPING When injuries occur deep in the muscle, bleeding often occurs causing deep bruises. There will also be edema in the area involving the coagulation of sticky proteins. The combining presence of these elements usually results in stagnation of circulation to the area - resulting in pain, dysfunction, and chronic conditions.
The vacuum formed by Cupping draws up the old non-circulating stagnant blood and sticky fluids from the area, bringing them up to the surface and away from the injury so that healthy free circulation can be restored to the affected area, thus creating space for oxygen, living cells and nutrients for faster recovery.
REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology is the application of pressure to areas on the feet (or the hands). Reflexology is generally relaxing and may help alleviate stress.
The theory behind reflexology is that areas of the foot correspond to organs and systems of the body. Pressure applied to the foot is believed to bring relaxation and healing to the corresponding area of the body.
Reflexologists use foot charts to guide them as they apply pressure to specific areas. Reflexology is sometimes combined with other hands-on therapies and may be offered by chiropractors and physical therapists, among others.
Several studies indicate that reflexology may reduce pain and psychological symptoms, such as stress and anxiety, and enhance relaxation and sleep. Given that reflexology is also low risk, it can be a reasonable option if you're seeking relaxation and stress relief.
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. Increasingly, it is being used for overall wellness, including stress management.
Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance.
In contrast, many Western practitioners view the acupuncture points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue. Some believe that this stimulation boosts your body's natural painkillers.
MOXIBUSTION
Moxibustion is a form of heat therapy in which dried plant materials called "moxa" are burned on or very near the surface of the skin. The intention is to warm and invigorate the flow of Qi in the body and dispel certain pathogenic influences.
Moxa is usually made from the dried leafy material of Chinese mugwort (Artemesia argyi or A.vlugaris), but it can be made of other substances as well.
