MLD is a gentle, rhythmic and precise massage technique that is used in the treatment and reduction of edemas and for tissue and systemic detoxification. MLD removes metabolic wastes (increasing immune system function), excess water, toxins, bacteria, large protein molecules, and foreign substances from the tissues and also helps to alleviate pain.
During the session the therapist will assess soft tissue to locate areas of pathology and will use varying techniques such as trigger point therapy and deep muscle massage to facilitate change in that tissue to promote healing. Greater involvement of the client and therapist as a team is necessary during this work.
Myofacial Release is a whole-body approach to healing that seeks to restore balance to the body by releasing tension in the facia. Practitionaers use long stretching strokes to release muscle tension. This technique, which is generally gentle, has the effect of relieving pain and improving function.
The primary intent of this massage is deep relaxation with light, non-specific strokes. This massage technique often leads to reduction in mental, emotional and physical stress. Massage is a head-to-toe process, with the client’s personal privacy and comfort our primary concern.
Structural Integration, based on the work of Dr. Ida Rolf, aligns and balances the physical body within its gravitational field. This rebalancing is accomplished through systematic manipulationthat loosens and reorganizes the myofacia, or connective tissue, that surrounds the muscles and joints. After a structural integration session, you not only stand taller, look better, and move with greater ease, but also have more vitality and an enhanced sense of psychological well being. This therapy can be done by single session or in a series of 3, 7 or 10 sessions for the entire body.
In this traditional home remedy process, the narrow end of a thin, hollow paraffin wax candle is placed at the end of the ear canal, while the opposite end is lit. The combination of heat and smoke is soothing and begins the natural process of drawing out accumulations in the ear. Great for ear aches, hearing problems, dizziness and congestion.
Reiki is an energetic healing practice that utilizes hands-on touch and focused visualization. It aims to balance and amplify energy on the physical, emotional, and spiritual planes. Reiki is based on ancient Tibetan Buddhist teachings. The Reiki practioner acts as a channel for accessing the universal life energy. Practitioners use Reiki to balance and amplify an individual’s energy to promote healing.
