About
Massage
Massage Therapy is the manipulation of soft-tissues of the
body. It helps to ease stress and muscular tension; relieve pain
from injuries; and speed healing from certain acute and chronic
conditions. In some cases, massage can reduce or even eliminate
the need for medication or surgery. Although a single massage
will be enjoyable, the effects of massage are cumulative. A course
of massage treatments, used as a form of regular health care maintenance,
will bring the most benefits.
Your
Personalized Plan
On your first visit, your massage therapist will ask you about
your medical history, your current physical condition and review
any referring practitioner's recommendations. Your massage therapist
will then assess your problem area and any pain you may be experiencing
to help determine the best approach for your treatments.
Based
on this assessment, your massage therapist will decide on a personalized
plan that will focus on your specific health and wellness requirements.
The appropriate frequency, duration and number of massage sessions
for you will depend on your condition, its severity and how long
you have had it, as well as your general health.
Craniosacral Massage ---------------------------------
Craniosacral
therapy is a hands-on healing technique which assists the body's
natural ability for self-repair. It involves gentle releases of
the soft tissue and bones of the head (cranium); the spine down
to its tail end (the sacral area); and the pelvis. Treatment helps
alleviate a range of illness, pain and dysfunction that may include
sensory, motor or neurological disabilities.
When
your therapist incorporates this technique into your massage treatment,
you not only benefit from a central nervous system free of restrictions,
but also a body that's able to return to its greatest levels of
performance.
Hot
Stone Massage -------------------------------------
Hot
stone massage is a deeply soothing and relaxing form of massage
that uses smooth heated basalt stones placed on specific acupressure
points on the body. Basalt stones are black volcanic rocks that
absorb and retain heat. The heat helps tight muscles release and
melt away knots, tension and stress. If you have inflammation,
muscle injury, or pain in a localized area, cold stones may be
used.
Stone
massage can be especially beneficial for people who suffer from fibromyalgia or arthritis; for athletes; and for anyone recovering from injuries. Hot stone
treatments can be extremely effective in relaxing both the body
and mind to relieve pain, promote harmony, balance and peace.
Thai
Massage ----------------------------------------------
Thai
Massage has a long history of therapeutic healing in Thailand
and has been practiced for centuries. It is considered the "lazy
man's yoga" and incorporates various stretching positions
and pressure points applied to the meridian lines during the treatment.
Working on these energy lines will help to remove any blockages
and allow the energy to flow freely through the body.
Thai
massage is beneficial for all systems of the body, especially
the circulatory, musculoskeletal, nervous, respiratory and digestive
systems. It helps to relieve pain; promote healing; and
maintain health
and wellness.
Thai
Stem Massage -------------------------------------
Thai
Stem Massage uses natural aromatic herbal compresses that are steam heated to warm, relax and provide a gentle exfoliation. Using rhythmic combination of rolling, kneading and acupressure movements, muscle tension melts away and leaves you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. |
