Swedish massage is the most commonly offered and
best known type of massage. It was developed by a
Swedish physiologist, Henri Peter Ling at the
University of Stockholm in 1812. It uses a firm but
gentle pressure to improve the circulation, ease muscle
aches and tension, improve flexibility and create
relaxation.

AMMA Therapy is concerned with the balance and
movement of life energy (Qi) in the human body. AMMA
therapy relies primarily on the sensitivity and strength of
the hands to manipulate and balance the life energy. Amma
therapy is concerned with the flow and balance of energy
in the pathways of Qi, commonly known as the channels,
that form an energetic web throughout the body. The
channels of Qi nourish and defend the body. As well, it is
through these channels that harmful energies gain access
to deeper regions of the body. The balanced and
unobstructed flow of Qi through the channels is
imperative for maintaining good health. AMMA therapy
utilizes all the techniques of the major forms of therapeutic
massage.

Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) was made popular by Paul
St. John and it is a massage modality that focuses on the
treatment of trigger points. They are called trigger points
because they refer pain to another part of the body. Trigger
points are painful points located within taut bands of
muscle, hypertonicity, and are treated primarily with the
application of sustained, usually static pressure.
Sometimes this is referred to as ischemic pressure and can
vary from very light to heavy depending on the stage of
development of the trigger point. Through the softening of
trigger points, NMT aims to reduce chronic pain, increase
range of motion, and correct postural distortions.

Intuitive work involves a deep sensitivity to energy and
spirit. Using a wide array of techniques drawn from
Chinese medicine, Oriental culture and inspiration, a
therapist is able to connect with and balance a person’s
energy. Energy imbalance can lead to a host of
problems, impacting the physical, psychological and
spiritual wellbeing. Restoring this balance imbues a
person with a strong sense of peace and harmony.

Designed to reach the deep portions of thick muscles,
specifically the individual muscle fibers. Using deep
muscle compression and friction along the grain of the
muscle, its purpose is to un- stick the fibers of the
muscles and release both toxins and deeply held
patterns of tension.

Shiatsu is an oriental (eastern) therapy of physical and
energy rebalance. Usually it is defined as an oriental
"massage" but it is much more than that. It acts
through pressure with thumbs, fingers and palms
applied to determined areas and points of the human
body, without the use of any mechanical or of another
type instrument, correcting internal dysfunctions,
promoting and keeping the health and treating
specific illnesses. Among the diverse benefits that
SHIATSU presents to the organism, it will be able to be
distinguished

 Gives flexibility to the skin
 Improvement of the circulatory system
 Gives flexibility to the muscular system
 Aid to recuperate the balance of the bone system
 Facilitation of the digestive system functions
 Improvement of the endocrine system control
 Regulate the functions of the nervous system

Reflexology is a science which deals with the principle
that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands which
correspond to all of the glands, organs and parts of the
body. Stimulating these reflexes properly can help
many health problems in a natural way, a type of
preventative maintenance. Reflexology should not be
confused with massage. Pressure is applied to specific
points on the feet to balance energy and function.

 Trigger points are discrete, focal, hyperirritable spots located in a taut
band of skeletal muscle. They produce pain locally and in a referred
pattern and often accompany chronic musculoskeletal disorders. Acute
trauma or repetitive microtrauma may lead to the development of
stress on muscle fibers and the formation of trigger points. Patients
may have regional, persistent pain resulting in a decreased range of
motion in the affected muscles. These include muscles used to
maintain body posture, such as those in the neck, shoulders, and pelvic
girdle. Trigger points may also manifest as migraines, tension
headache, tinnitus, temporomandibular joint pain, decreased range of
motion in the legs, and low back pain. Palpation of a hypersensitive
bundle or nodule of muscle fiber of harder than normal consistency is
the physical finding typically associated with a trigger point. Palpation
of the trigger point will elicit pain directly over the affected area and/or
cause radiation of pain toward a zone of reference and a local twitch
response.

Deep, focused pressure is applied to the trigger point,
and held until a release can be felt, almost like a tire
going flat. The duration of the pressure can last up to
two minutes, though one minute is the usual time
frame. Immediate relief from muscular pain and
headache pain can often be flet. Migraines can be
alleviated during the course of one treatment, and
often can be stopped from recurring with additional
therapy.

Cranial sacral therapy (also known as craniosacral therapy)
is a gentle, noninvasive form of alternative medicine that
deals with the movement of the fluid surrounding the skull
and spine. Cranial sacral therapists ease the restrictions of
nerve passages by focusing on the membranes that encase
the central nervous system.
Cranial sacral therapy seeks to restore misaligned bones to
their proper position and is thought to eliminate the
negative effects of stress as well as provide relief from
migraine headaches, neck and back pain,
temporomandibular joint disorder (the inflammation of
the joint that connects the lower jaw to the skull) and
more.

Lymphatic drainage is a holistic approach to promoting a healthy
lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is a complex network of
vessels and ducts that move fluid throughout the body and is
responsible for moving toxins away from healthy cells and
carrying germ-fighting materials to cells when they are under
attack by viruses. Though fluid moves through the lymphatic
system, it does not have its own pumping mechanism.
Lymphatic drainage is a type of therapy that is intended to help
the body produce a free-flowing lymphatic system. Lymphatic
drainage therapy consists of a manual massage, performed by a
lymphatic drainage therapist. A lymphatic drainage massage
primarily focuses on specific lymph nodes and points of the
body, as well as the natural flow of the lymphatic system.
Proponents of lymphatic drainage believe that the process will
reduce blockages of the lymphatic system, which in turn
promotes a healthier body

When the lymphatic system becomes blocked, lymph
nodes may become swollen. Further, the system fails to
remove the body’s toxins and can even affect white
blood cell counts. Lymphatic drainage is believed to
reduce blockage, which promotes health in the
lymphatic system as well as other bodily systems such
as the circulatory, respiratory, muscular and endocrine
systems. Some therapists believe that lymphatic
drainage therapy can also reduce allergies, menstrual
cramps, colds and other viruses.

Myofascial Release is a very effective hands-on
technique that provides sustained pressure into
myofascial restrictions to eliminate pain and restore
motion.
