HOT STONE MASSAGE
What is Hot Stone Massage? Hot Stone massage involves the application of water-heated basalt stones of varying sizes to key points on the body, giving a deep massage and creating sensations of comfort and warmth. The direct heat relaxes muscles, allowing manipulation of a greater intensity than with regular massage.
Where does Hot Stone Massage come from? The Chinese from around 2000 BC used heated stones as a means of improving the function of internal organs. Native Americans used stones in sweat lodges, where as a place of spiritual refuge they could repair the damage done to their spirits, minds & bodies. Stones were also used for healing work in South America, Africa, Europe, Egypt & India.
Some traditions included laying stones in patterns on the body, carrying or wearing stones for health and protection, & using stones in the diagnosis and treatment of disease, and in ceremonies. The healing practices of curanderas (of South America) and other women caregivers often included dealing with disease as well as pregnancy and childbirth. These Native folk healers used heated stones to diminish the discomfort of menstruation, and the application of cold stones to slow bleeding after labour. Some sources cite instances of cultures in which women believed that holding stones during labour added to their strength and endurance.
How Does Hot Stone Massage Work? The hot stones are usually made of basalt, a type of rock that is rich in iron, so they retain heat. River rocks are normally used because they are so smooth - they have been smoothed over time by the river's current.
The stones are immersed in water and heated in an electric heating device until they are within a certain temperature range. The stones may be placed at specific points on the back, in the palms of the hand, or between the toes.
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. Some massage therapists place stones on points that are thought to be energy centres of the body to rebalance the body and mind.
Benefits of Hot Stone Massage:
- Promotes deep muscle and tissue relaxation
- Alleviates stress
- Releases toxins
- Relieves pain
- Improves circulation
- Calms the psyche
Hot stone therapy is perfect for achieving mental wellness. Basalt stones, polished, hardened lava rocks, are heated by water in an electric roaster. The heated stones are then placed strategically along pressure points to help melt away tension creating a calming atmosphere. Stress, deadlines, anxiety, and other life annoyances disappear long enough for your mind to relax at the deepest level. The therapeutic massage creates a sense of well being. Insomnia is often cured through the use of hot stone massages because of its ability to put the mind at ease. It is also known that depression can be helped by the use hot stone therapy.

CUPPING THERAPY
Massage Suction Cupping is a modernised form of Cupping therapy. It adopts a suction gun to produce a negative air pressure vacuum inside cups which have been placed on the skin. The suction works to release rigid soft tissues and muscles. The skin may redden after the cup is left in place for a few minutes. The purpose of using cups in this way is to apply pressure for relaxation of muscles and overall promotion of wellbeing.
Cupping Throughout History; Cupping Therapy is an ancient Chinese method of promoting healing deep in the muscle tissue, opening energy pathways, releasing toxins and activating the lymphatic system. Cupping is done by placing a cup, in which a vacuum has been created, over the skin. This creates suction and allows for healing and release of muscle tension.
The Action Of Suction Cups; Suction Cups produce vacuums on the body's surface by manually withdrawing the air through the suction gun, rather than the traditional way of burning up oxygen. If you think of massage in terms of positive pressure (pressing in on body tissues), then you can think of Massage Suction Cupping as a negative pressure, drawing body tissues outward from the body, to stimulate them with a reverse massage.
Cupping Marks: The most common misunderstanding regarding one powerful after effects of cupping is the marks that sometimes result. Where there is dead, static blood, lymph, cellular debris, pathogenic factors, and toxins present in the body, Cupping can leave marks which indicates that the stagnation or disease has been moved from the deeper tissue layers to the surface, allowing fresh oxygenated blood to nourish and heal the underlying areas. The colour and pattern of the marks depend on the level of stagnation in the area, and range from a bright red to dark purple, usually lasting 3 days to a week - sometimes longer if the person is very sick or sedentary. If there is no stagnation present, there will be only a light pink mark which disappears in a few minutes to a couple of hours. Sites where there is old trauma or injury may require multiple cupping treatments to remove all stagnation. You will find in follow up treatments the marks will be visibly lighter and lighter as the pathogens are systemically removed from the body.
Many unfamiliar to Cupping Therapy refer to the Cup Marks as Bruises. Bruising is caused by impact trauma with breakage of capillaries and a reactionary rush of fluids to the damaged location from the tissue injury. There is no compression in correctly performed suction cup therapy. Although it is quite common during Stationary Dry Cupping (left static for 5 - 20 minutes) to achieve dramatic 'marks' or 'discolorations', the less aggressive action of moving the cups, minimizes the intensity and duration of the discolorations. Often, when a condition exists within deeper structures where sufficient pathologic factors and stagnant fluids (toxins, blood and lymph) are dredged up during treatment, discoloration will appear on the epidermis. As treatments cumulate and the release of stagnation and build-up has been released, dispersed and drained – (sometimes quickly as the 2nd treatment) no discoloration is likely to occur at all - even though each time the cupping may have been focused on the same area, for the same duration, and with the same amount of suction. This action is clearly the result of having internal unwanted toxins systematically purged.

SCENAR THERAPY
Where is SCENAR from - SCENAR was initially developed by doctors and scientists within the Russian space program in the late 1970s to cope with the unique problems of space travel. Today SCENAR is a mainstream medical modality in Russia and there it has very many applications.
What is SCENAR- The SCENAR (Self Controlled Energo Neuro Adaptive Regulator) is a hand-held, electro-stimulation therapeutic medical device (ARTG 101783). SCENAR therapy is unique because it interactively locates, measures and prompts problem areas in the body (asymmetries) through the skin to help relieve pain and restore function.
How does SCENAR work - SCENAR works by helping the body to heal itself. As the body adjusts to the many environmental and internal influences it is said to be maintaining homeostasis. When the body is unable to adjust to impacts and influences it may go into physical dysfunction and pathology. SCENAR seeks to help the body regain homeostasis by finding and treating ‘asymmetries’ which are tell-tale signs and areas where homeostasis is not present. This is the central principle of the SCENAR treatment approach and this means that SCENAR can be used to treat problems anywhere in the body.
SCENAR for pain relief - As therapeutic interactive stimulation, SCENAR doesn’t treat any condition just by itself; its purpose is to create a dynamic, a change, which stimulates the body’s own natural healing processes. The most pronounced and immediate effect after application of the SCENAR device is pain relief, which often lasts a lot longer than after use of more conventional means of pain control. Some patients have found more pain relief after SCENAR treatment than from administered opiates.
What conditions can SCENAR treat - In Scenar Therapy, many health practitioners currently use the device as their principal instrument of treatment. The device is used there on most types of disorder or injury: musculoskeletal, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary and genital, neurological, ENT, skin conditions and dental problems. It has also been found there to be beneficial with endocrine, nutritional and metabolic disorders as well as stress, depression and mental disturbances.
The SCENAR is further credited with vastly reducing recovery times. In accident and emergency wards its ability to aid in recovery is used to help those with burns, fractures, insect bites, allergic reactions, cardiac arrest, trauma, and many types of sports injuries.
Is SCENAR safe - As SCENAR impulse is similar to endogenous nerve impulses, it is non-damaging. However people with Cardiac Pacemakers are NOT allowed to have SCENAR treatment. (N.B. Pregnant women are NOT usually treated in the West).
SCENAR Treatment Procedure - After an initial history taking and a complaint description, SCENAR treatment will be performed using a digital assessment according to the patient’s needs. While the SCENAR is run over the spine, abdomen or affected area, a gentle tingling/stroking sensation will be felt. Although these areas may not seem to directly relate to the obvious symptoms often they will be showing distinctive signs. By treating these anomalies or ‘asymmetries’, (as the Russians call them), a ‘dynamic’ or change is generated and the healing process is facilitated. The initial treatment can take up to one hour, however treatment time for acute problems can be as short as 15 minutes. .

G5 SUBDERMAL THERAPY
G5 Sub-dermal Therapy is designed to incorporate machine-assisted massage therapy into physical therapy treatments.
The benefits of incorporating G5 Sub-dermal Therapy into a Sports Massage treatment include: Maintaining mobility within the tissue structures of ligaments, tendons, and muscles to reduce atrophy and adherent scars; relaxes muscles which allows for deeper manual manipulation of the area being treated by the therapist; increases circulation by means of the generation of heat resulting in increased blood flow bringing nutrients and oxygen to localised areas; relieves the tension build-up or muscle contraction of a hypersensitive area that can evoke pain elsewhere in the body when stimulated; provides detoxification of lymphatic systems by mobilising lymphatic fluids and draining excess tissue fluids and restores mobility.
G5 Sub-dermal Therapy Fees
15 Min: $25.00 / 30 Min: $45.00 / 45 Min: $62.00 / 60 Min: $72.00 / 90 Min: $104.00 / 120 Min: $138.00.

Formostar Infrared Body Wrap Therapy
Outer parts of the body, where fat is typically stored, are normally poorly supplied with blood and can be anything up to 10'C cooler than core body temperature. To break down fat you generally need to expend energy, such as that generated in sustained exercise. Exercise increases the Basic Metabolic Rate (BMR) and is widely accepted as one of the fastest ways to use calories. Exercise generates body heat, significantly increasing blood circulation, which stimulates lipolytic enzyme activity (fat burning).
Formostar provides concentrated heat into targeted areas, while still providing an overall body workout, over each 50 minute session. Due to the increase of blood flow during a Formostar session, generated through the concentrated heat, cardiovascular conditioning can also be achieved - the heart must work harder in order to pump blood faster through the body. A person using Formostar 2-3 times per week, as recommended, should experience body reshaping and weight-loss through the breakdown of fat and the loss of excess fluids and wastes.
The results of the Formostar Clinical Study ('Clinical study for the effectiveness of the FORMOSTAR - in depth thermal treatment for weight and size loss and degenerative joint and spinal column illnesses, Dr. med. A. MEDINA and Dr. med. K. RADTKE, 1985, Internal Medicine Department of the District Hospital Rinteln at the Weser - study commissioned by Formostar Germany and available on request) indicated that on average, the control group's results were:
With diet: an average of 6.5 kilos lost in 10 sessions and between 7 and 8 centimetres lost in each of the thigh, abdomen and hip areas.
Without diet: an average of 4 kilos lost in 10 sessions and between 5 and 6 centimetres lost in each of the thigh, abdomen and hip areas.
Sweating also plays a part in the loss with one gram of sweat being equivalent to .586 of a calorie. Hydrating (which we recommend prior, during and after a Formostar session) will replace lost fluid as required but the calories are lost in the process.
Fat is actually quite light, in fact much lighter than muscle. Your body requires a specific number of calories every day to function properly. Individuals with active lifestyles require more calories in their diet than those with sedentary lifestyles. If your energy intake consistently exceeds your energy output, you will begin to notice a change in weight.
For every 3500 calories consumed beyond the energy needs of your body, you may gain approx a kilo. On the other hand, creating a deficit of 3500 calories can result in the loss of a kilo. Consequently to lose one kilo a person needs to burn 7000 calories.
Formostar will be of most value with a balanced exercise and eating programme. People participating in diet programmes can sometimes experience a plateau effect. Combining Formostar sessions with diet can overcome this effect and accelerate results. Results will be dependent on each person's particular make up and physiology. Basic body shape also plays a part in how quickly the results will be achieved. Generally, the greater the excess weight being carried, the faster and more dramatic the body reshaping and weight loss results can be.
Benefits of the Formostar Far Infrared Body Wrap Treatments are: Pain Management; Detoxification; Body Fluid Reduction; Skin Conditioning; Improved Blood Circulation; Increasing Flexibility; Sports Recovery; General Well-being; and Weight Management
Pain Management: The Formostar was initially developed to assist in the relief of pain experienced by arthritis sufferers and improve joint mobility. Heat is generally accepted treatment for temporary pain relief. Far infrared heat lamps have been in use for many years, especially in Asia. Heat, absorbed by the body, can help deaden nerve endings, creating an analgesic effect bringing temporary pain relief. Promoting blood circulation to affected areas can aid in the healing of muscle and soft tissue injuries such as sprains, strains, arthritis, muscle spasm and many other muscular-skeletal ailments.
Detoxification: The skin is the largest organ in the body and it plays a major role in the detoxifying process alongside the lungs, kidneys, bowels, liver, and the lymphatic and immune systems. Many people go out of their way not to sweat, especially women. Air-conditioned buildings, air-conditioned cars, anti-perspirants and body lotions can prevent the body from performing its natural functions as well as clogging up the skin's pores. Sweating is a natural and beneficial process helping clear toxins out of a person's system.Toxins are both water based (residing in body fluids) and oil based (residing in fat tissue). The heat generated by the Formostar can stimulate the sweat glands and in combination with increased blood circulation can help release built-up toxins and waste trapped in cells and tissues.
Body Fluid Reduction: Formostar's deep heat sessions provide excellent sweat inducing capabilities which can be effective in helping people lose excess body fluids. People with mild forms of fluid retention around the ankles and feet can use Formostar to target these areas by using the variable wraps on the areas with fluid build-up. Reducing excess fluids can provide people with a greater level of comfort and mobility.
Skin Conditioning: For healthy skin, pores require cleansing. Pores may clog up for a variety of reasons and sweating helps the cleansing process helping to improve skin condition and making it more supple. Promoting additional oxygen enriched blood into areas where there is scar tissue may also aid the skin regeneration process.
Blood Circulation: Many issues that manifest themselves in the body such as arthritis, sciatica, menstrual cramps and fatigue, or outside the body such as psoriasis and acne, can to some degree, be due to poor blood circulation. Formostar sessions heat the body to aid stimulation of the flow of blood to peripheral areas.
Increasing Flexibility: Heat can help reduce joint and muscle tightness, aiding movement. Gentle stretching when warm can also help improve flexibility by up to 20%. For a person experiencing arthritis or mobility problems, Formostar heat treatments could be very valuable.
