| TYPES OF MASSAGE |
Relaxation Massage: A smooth, flowing style that promotes general relaxation, improves circulation and range of movement, and relieves muscular tension.
Remedial Massage: Is a paramedical treatment that helps to restore function to injured "soft tissues" (muscles, tendons and ligaments). Therapy may involve the use of various types of Massage, as well as a range of other physical treatments to assist your recovery. In addition, you may be asked to perform some activities at home to assist the process of recovery.
Sports Massage: Combines different Massage techniques to enhance sports performance and recuperation. An effective component of any training program.
Aromatherapy Massage: Combining the therapeutic properties of essential oils with specific Massage techniques to promote health and well-being.
Reflexology: Using thumb and finger pressure on the reflex points of the feet (which correspond to all areas of the body) to assist in achieving balance within the body.
Oriental Therapies: Oriental-based systems of finger pressure Massage, such as Acupressure and Shiatsu, that treat points along the acupressure meridians, aiming to release discomfort and rebalance energy.
Shiatsu is a form of Oriental Therapy evolved from a 5000 years old tradition of healing arts.
Shiatsu utilizes a combination of pressure and assisted-stretching techniques, some of which are common to other therapies, such as Massage, Physiotherapy, Acupressure, Osteopathy, Lymphatic Drainage, Do-in and others. The treatment stimulates the circulation and the flow of lymphatic fluid, releases toxins and deep seated tensions from the muscles, stimulates the hormonal system and the immune system, and acts on the autonomic nervous system, allowing the recipient to relax deeply and to get in touch with own healing power.
Some Benefits of Shiatsu include:
- Reduced stress & fatigue (tsubo) accumulated in the body
- Increased circulation of blood and lymph
-Reduced blood pressure and muscle stiffness
-Increased vitality, stamina and energy (Qi)
