Therapeutic Massage Methods
Deep Tissue
This method contacts deep levels of the musculature to bring about a focused therapeutic release of muscle tension. Deep tissue massage also utilizes oils and employs short and long strokes to contact deep muscle tension points to bring about a long lasting clinical result.
Myo Fascial
Fascia is a type of connective tissue that wraps and hold muscles and other structures. This method focuses on the muscles and Fascia simultaneously to “warm and melt away” constrictions that bind the two structures, which cause loss of function.
Acupuncture Methods
Trigger Point Therapy
The method most people are famliar with, Trigger Point Therapy addresses dense, tense Myo-Fascial points, which are released through a gentle, direct technique, resulting in pain cessation of an entire area.
Wan’s 3E
A unique method developed by the Chinese Master, Dr Wan. Using a systemic meridian approach, the body is brought into homeostasis, resulting in a harmonious and balanced resolution of illness.
Energetic Modalities
Qi Gong
Qi gong works to invigorate the body and the psyche in a metaphysical, energetic manner. It is focused on moving Qi Energy through the body, utilizing breath and visualization,, combined with various hand positions and techniques.
Reiki
A Japanese version of Qi gong, this method is calm, deliberate and sedating. A unique aspect of Reiki brings geometric symbols which are drawn in the air over the patient to connect the body mind to healing reiki energies.
Chinese Herbal Therapies
Based on two thousand years of collective experience, Chinese herbal formulas are used to assist the body in regaining and maintaining balance and harmony among the body systems.
Various actions are promoted in the body as needed, such as expelling toxins, decongesting excess phlegm or fluids, nourishing and tonifying weak and depleted energy or deconstraining and harmonizing tension.
Each Chinese herbal formula is safe and carefully crafted to bring about the desired result while maintaning balance and control.
