The pressure and application of some massage techniques may be deep and firm however we take into account any strains or injuries you may have so you receive the most beneficial treatment.

In regards to injuries, many reoccurring injuries happen because they have not been treated correctly in the initial stages, or they have not been treated at all. It’s important after sustaining an injury that the individual take care not to resume their usual activities too quickly.

Originally developed in Japan, Shiatsu massage techniques include classical finger pressure and a flowing Zen style massage which involves stretching, palpation and joint mobilization.

The main philosophy of Shiatsu is to clear blockages or stagnation within the body’s meridian system. This allows qi or energy to flow with less resistance thereby helping to bring the body back into balance.

Cupping is an ancient Chinese therapy and is used to support circulation of the blood, lymph and qi. The purpose of cupping is to draw out wind, cold, dampness, or heat that are caused by pathogenic invasion. The technique of cupping causes a mild, pulling action on the skin which can be adjusted. The cups used can be made of rubber, bamboo or glass.

Qi Gong is an ancient Chinese self-care practice which involves meditation, breathing and meridian stretching exercises. This combination of gentle activities helps to ease physical and mental tension and improve your sleep and focus.

Research conducted at the Qi Gong Institute shows that Alpha and Theta brain wave activity can increase during a Qi Gong session.

The body’s lymphatic system is one of the most under appreciated.

It has 2 main roles: The first is protecting the body from viral and bacterial infections; and the second is cleaning out the toxins that accumulate in our body from diet choices, illness and daily modern life.

For many of us, frequent infection by viruses and a lack of proper health maintenance can undermine the effectiveness of our lymphatic system. The build up of waste in our lymphatic system can cause us to feel heavy and lethargic.

To encourage the lymphatic ducts to release stored waste, a gentle flowing massage is used for effective detoxification.

Pre- and postoperative surgery, pregnancy and post-sports events are perfect opportunities to use manual lymphatic drainage.

A manual lymphatic drainage massage session runs from 75 – 90 minutes.
