Massage Menu
Relax
A firm, rhythmically flowing massage that systematically softens the body, stimulates circulation & allows the mind to rest. A meditative awareness creates the space for you to let go of built up tensions. The nervous system is allowed to reverse the stress response by slowing down. Vibrational healing is incorporated through sound and touch so as we engage with the natural energy flowing in you, harmony can be restored.
Therapeutic & Remedial
Building on a relax massage, a therapeutic massage is deeper and more intense involving consultation & assessment. Injuries can be assessed to determine whether massage will aid with rehabilitation. Myofascial Trigger Point therapy effectively diagnoses and releases muscle tissue where tight bands and corresponding pockets of accumulated waste products create pain patterns.
A variety of techniques are used as required including acupressure, Chinese massage including acupressure, Chinese massage, liniments, cupping, moxabustion, stretching, joint work & home exercise. At ki Viva we focus on the needs of the individual and draw on Eastern & Western disciplines to achieve results.
Shiatsu
Shiatsu is a Japanese system of healing through touch which restores wellbeing by engaging with the natural energy in the body. First we build a picture of you looking at your reasons for seeking Shiatsu, your work and leisure life, exercise, eating and sleep patterns, energy and emotional responses to life events. Often tongue & pulse diagnosis may be used.
Shiatsu is traditionally given through clothing on a futon. The session involves application of pressure in harmony with breath, stretching, vibration, meditative holding of acu-points, stimulating warmth by burning mugwort near points (moxa) or aiding release using the Chinese spoon or cupping. Recommendations for home practice will be given to incorporate between sessions to encourage an active responsibility on one's path towards wellbeing. These may include stretches, new eating or lifestyle habits.
Shiatsu is indicated for many conditions of joint, postural & muscular origin and systematic conditions eg. menstrual, pregnancy, digestion, headache, fatigue, insomnia, depression. It works especially well for balancing emotion and state of mind.
Shiatsu offers an opportunity to surrender. This means just resting and allowing the practitioner to utilize your body weight in a creative dance enticing the energy - or Ki - to flow in harmony.
Pregnancy & Post Natal
Pregnancy is a tremendous time of change and massage is a wonderful support. In the first trimester, nausea, fatigue and anxiety can be alleviated whilst the body harnesses all its energy to create a new being. In the second trimester we begin to use the special pillow so you can lay face down with your belly fully supported and massage can continue as required assisting you to accommodate the changes you are experiencing & giving you time out from your busy schedule. In the third trimester discomfort is common from compensation for the growing baby; massage can relieve over active muscles, stimulate circulation that may become sluggish in arms and legs, and calm the mind, regulating sleep patterns allowing space to connect with the baby within. Learning to breathe & relax will optimally prepare you for labour.
Postnatal massage can help relieve tight and sore back, shoulders and neck from the breastfeeding and give guidance on restoring the body's strength & balance. Combine with healing oils of Rose, Rosewood, jasmine & Bergamot for maximum nurturing.
Lomi Lomi Hot Stone Massage
Hawaiian style fluid and nurturing massage given intuitively to address the whole body, going beyond the physical and allowing deep states of relaxation. Using oiled and heated stones to penetrate & warm, the muscles open and release easily, assisting detoxification & relieving chronic pain. A ritualistic & beautiful balancing session leaving you feeling completely pampered.
Sports Massage
A deep & vigorous massage designed to prepare your body to function optimally before an event. Or to relax & recover after a strenuous workout. A massage designed to really stretch and loosen you up.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Indicated for a variety of conditions involving fluid retention, including headache, menstrual pain, sinusitis, surgical procedures, injuries and to stimulate detoxification & immunity. It involves slow, light, rhythmical massage to assist elimination of lymphatic fluid.
