Stress Therapy
Stylized massage techniques applying pressure along the body's meridians, stretching the muscle and joints, increases mental alertness and increases energy, calms the nerves and boosts circulation.
Lymphatic Facial
This treatment's objective is to detoxify the tissues, equalize the circulation of lymphatic fluids and relax the whole face, neck and shoulders. It also drains sinuses and all edemas of the face with the stimulation of the lymphatic system. By balancing the circulation of the lymphatic system via elimination of toxins diluted in the blood, this treatment allows rapid regeneration of the whole body.
Acupressure
A non-intrusive precursor of acupuncture, acupressure stimulates the flow of vital energy, or chi, circulating along the body's meridians and influencing the functioning of certain internal organs. By applying thumb and fingertip pressure, specific symptoms are relieved and balance is restored to the entire body. It is said to be effective for treating stress, sciatica, arthritis, headaches, fatigue and general irritability. Other forms of acupressure include, shiatsu, zen shiatsu, jin shen, jin shen do, Tuina..
Cranial Osteopathy/CranioSacral Therapy
This specialized treatment approach focuses on the CranioSacral system comprised of the brain, spinal cord, meninges, cranial bones and sacrum. The CranioSacral system contains fluid which moves with slight but perceptible rhythmic fluctuation. By using gentle pressure, balance is restored to the central nervous system. Promoted by Dr. John Upledger, an osteopathic physician and researcher, CranioSacral therapy can help treat brain and spinal cord injuries, central nervous system disorders, motor-coordination impairments and attention deficit disorders. SomatoEmotional Release (SER), another therapeutic process put forward by Upledger, is said to help rid the body and mind of the residual effects of past trauma and associated negative responses.
Deep Tissue Bodywork
Designed to reach deep portions of thick muscles, this therapy involves slow strokes, direct pressure or friction across the grain of the muscles using the fingers, thumbs or elbows, and aims to release chronic patterns of muscular tension. It may be used in combination with other forms of massage to treat circulatory and heart disorders, back and neck pain, stress, anxiety and depression, and other disorders.
La Stone
This relatively new massage treatment has likely been around for ages. Most practitioners use heated basalt rocks to stimulate trigger points along the client's chakra system. Benefits include relief from chronic pain, neck and back stress, and detoxification. Hot and cold stones are used particularly at injury sites, to speed healing and allow for deeper work by the therapist. Hot stone therapy is available at most spas.
Neuro Muscular Reprogramming
Massage-type techniques are employed to spine muscles in spasm to relax. Chronically tense muscles restrict blood flow and fatigue the body. By applying gentle pressure to connective tissues or fascia, normal alignment and function can be restored and chronic pain eliminated. Developed in the late 1970, the technique can treat neck and back pain, headaches and recurring sports injuries, among other conditions.
Myotherapy/Trigger Point
Myotherapy is the diffusion of trigger points in muscles to retrain those muscles and relieve pain. It has been popularized by Bonnie Prudden. Trigger points are usually found in tight bands of muscle that may radiate pain to other areas of the body. For instance, relieving a tense trigger point in the back could help ease pain in the shoulder or reduce headaches. Myotherapy is useful in the treatment of addictions, arthritis, backache, colic, Epstein-Barr, headaches, migraine, sinusitis, sports injuries, tendonitis and TMJ.
Reflexology
A massage technique performed on the feet, and less commonly on the hands, reflexology works on the premise that our energy zones correspond to reflex points on the body's surface. It was formally introduced in America by Dr. William Fitzgerald, an American ear, nose and throat specialist, in 1913. Considered beneficial for both preventing and treating diseases, it is said to be especially effective for digestive and menstrual problems, fatigue, stress and stress-related disorders and chronic conditions. Zone therapy, the term used prior to reflexology, is also used to describe a form of reflexology.
Reiki
Reiki is the Japanese word for "universal life" and is intended to promote physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Reiki is believed to have evolved as a branch of Tibetan Buddhism. According to writings, the secrets of reiki power disappeared until the late 19th century when Japanese theologian Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese scholar and Christian monk, came upon some ancient Sanskrit manuscripts and rediscovered the healing system. Reiki practitioners transmit energy by a light touch, placing their hands gently in specific positions on the body. It is said to be effective for most emotional, physical and spiritual conditions.
Shiatsu
Shiatsu is an ancient and widely practiced Japanese form of acupressure that literally means "finger pressure." The practitioner applies rhythmic pressure for three to 10 seconds on specific points along the body's meridians (energy channels) using the fingers, hands, elbows, knees and even feet. Shiatsu is designed to treat the whole body, but can also be effective for specific ailments.
Sports Massage
This massage is typically used before, during or after athletic events to promote healing and recovery as well as prevention from injuries. It may combine many forms of massage, such as Swedish or deep tissue, but is adapted to each athlete's needs. Sports massage is said to improve focus, training efficiency and recovery.
Swedish Massage
Most modern methods of massage derive from this classic Western form of massage. A Swedish doctor, Per Henrick Ling, developed the first modern systematization of massage based on his study of gymnastics and physiology and on techniques borrowed from China, Egypt, Greece and Rome. These techniques include long gliding strokes, kneading, friction and shaking movements. Massage is effective for almost any condition but especially to improve circulation, relieve muscle tension, back and neck pain, promote general relaxation and decrease stress.
Zen Shiatsu
This method of acupressure includes the practice of strenuous Buddhist meditation. It incorporates the creative use of the whole body, along with stretches and leverage to awaken the healing channels of the body. Practitioners may apply heavy pressure, using their full body weight when they press the points
Face Lift - Ko Bi Do
Looking younger longer appeals to most people, but paying for costly cosmetic surgery may not. Yet anyone can improve facial skin tone - and look years younger - with facial massage. Botox only lasts six months, but facial massage that covers important acupressure points lasts as long as we do. Acupressure massage not only helps to relieve physical ailments, the massage gets blood circulation to the face and restores skin tone. The face becomes relaxed and shows fewer wrinkles and sagging flesh becomes firm without surgery.
