MYOFASCIAL CUPPING
Cupping Therapy is the application of cups to provide negative pressure (suction) to treat such conditions as repetitive strains, hypertonicity, inflammation, toxicity, chronic fatigue, digestive problems, anxiety and many others. Cupping encourages tissue release by stretching fascia & connective tissue increasing range of motion. Cupping also clears blood stagnation, increasing blood and lymph flow to skin & muscles and stimulates the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems to calm the body. Meridian systems which relate to internal organs are also treated using cupping therapy.
HOT STONE THERAPY
Hot Stone Massage is a deeply relaxing and therapeutic treatment that combines massage therapy with the use of heated stones . This treatment combines relaxing warmth and refreshing coolness to encourage the body to detox and heal. This also increases lymph flow and helps to flush out waste. Heat relaxes your body in a short space of time, so your therapist can focus on a deep working of the tissues using both hot stones and hand strokes. Hot stones also increase your sense of relaxation and rejuvenation.
REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology is an ancient Chinese technique that uses pressure-point massage on the feet to restore the flow of energy throughout the entire body.
It is based on the premise that there are reflexes in our hands, feet and ears that relate to every organ and body part. By stimulating these reflexes with pressure and manipulation, nerve function and blood supply may be improved, which may alleviate stress and other health problems.
Stimulating specific reflex points in the feet can bring needed nutrients to poorly functioning areas of the body. This can help restore balance. According to reflexology, by applying pressure to a specific part , the body will naturally begin to heal itself.
