Bare Foot SHIATSU Style Massage

This is a FANTASTIC Technique to break up large muscle groups in a quick gentle / heavy way. GREAT for bulkier strong clients with a lot of blocked tissue, Even better when COMBINED with other Massage Techniques STIMULATING TO ALL AREAS WORKED.

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger points, are areas of hyperirritability in the soft tissue structure. These can be acute sources of pain or latent, unnoticed by the client until pressure is applied by the practitioner. Trigger points are manifested as small contraction knots in the muscles, that control the state of contraction and active ones may cause muscle spasm and referred pain.

Treatment consists of physical therapy, manipulation and stretching. A firm digital pressure is applied by the practitioner, who is able to locate the specific points causing pain and restricted movement and these may often be located in places different to where the client actually feels the pain.

Aromatherapy

Relax and de-stress with a massage combining the healing effects of nature’s essential oils. After the consultation, one or more essential oils are selected based on what you need and are mixed in with the massage oil. When you inhale essential oil molecules, messages are transmitted to the limbic system and affect heart rate, stress level, blood pressure, breathing, memory, digestion, and the immune system.

Essential oils absorbed through the skin. Each essential oil has different healing properties. For example, some calm while others energize. Our therapists only use the Pure, Therapeutic Grade Young Living Essential Oils.

Naturopathy

Naturopaths use a range of non-invasive techniques to assess the causative factors of a patient's health problems. It is not necessary for the Naturopath to name a disease, as the holistic approach looks at the physical, mental and emotional aspects, the function of the various systems of the body as well as external influences.

Naturopathy comprises of a range of modalities such as nutrition, herbal medicine and homeopathy. As part of a treatment plan the Naturopath will also educate the patient about the cause of their health problems and how to alter such things as diet and lifestyle to assist in the healing and recovery process. The Naturopath may also suggest nutritional supplements, herbal medicines or homeopathic preparations when designing a patient's individual treatment program.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture literally means 'needle piercing," the practice of inserting very fine needles into the skin to stimulate specific anatomic points in the body (called acupoints or acupuncture points) for therapeutic purposes. Along with the usual method of puncturing the skin with the fine needles, the practitioners of acupuncture also use heat, pressure, friction, suction, or impulses of electromagnetic energy to stimulate the points. The acupoints (acupuncture points) are stimulated to balance the movement of energy (qi) in the body to restore health.

Acupuncture involves stimulating. In the past 40 years acupuncture has become a well-known, reasonably available treatment in developed and developing countries. Acupuncture is used to regulate or correct the flow of qi to restore health and energy.

Nutrition

Good nutrition is of paramount importance to everyone's health and inadequate or inappropriate nutrition can eventually lead to imbalances which in turn lead to poor health.

If a person's nutrition status is not what it should be and stress and environmental chemical pollutants are included in a person's lifestyle then a disease state will eventually occur.
