Glossary of Modalities -
- Acne
Treatment - Effective treatement for all types of acnes.
- Acupressure
- Oriental-based systems of finger-pressure which treat special
points along acupuncture "meridians" (the invisible
channels of energy flow in the body).
- Aroma
Therapeutic - Special herbs and natural ingredients to hlep bette
flow of energy and therapeutic treatment.
- Deep
Tissue - Releases the chronic patterns of tension in the body
through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted
areas, either following or going across the grain of muscles,
tendons and fascial. It is called deep tissue, because it also
focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue.
- Detoxifying
"Mud" Wrap - A popular process for natual weight contrl
and cellulite purification.
- Hot
Stone Massage - This form of bodywork involves the use of smooth,
heated lava stones applied to the body using long, flowing massage
strokes. The stones become an extension of the therapist’s
hands. The deep heat softens and relaxes tissues. The natural
healing properties of the lava stones aid in toxin removal and
increased circulation. This massage experience is like no other!
- Neuromuscular
Therapy (NMT) - NMT is a form of massage in that addresses the
problem of trigger points (not to be confused with "pressure
points" used in Eastern bodywork). The thing about trigger
points is they're to be found not just in the musculoskeletal
body system, but they're also in the visceral, autonomic part
of the body. Those two systems have interesting ways of triggering
each other off. For example, many digestive disorders such as
Irritable Bowel Syndrome, manifest as painful trigger points that
refer into the mid and low back. N.M.T. is used to address stress
that manifests in the body, lack of movement/momentum that most
of us experience on a daily basis, faulty biomechanics, lack of
nutrition, and injury.
- Mud/Seaweed/Herbal
Body Wrap - draws out negative tozins from cellulite for weight
control with natual herbs.
- Nourishing
"Seawood" - Helps weight control and feel nourished
and refreshened.
- Myofascial
Release - A highly interactive stretching technique that requires
feedback from the client's body to determine the direction, force
and duration of the stretch and to facilitate maximum relaxation
of the tense tissues. Myofascial Release recognizes that a muscle
cannot be isolated from other structures of the body. All parts
of the body are covered by fascia, a pliable connective tissue
that winds itself in Saran-Wrap-like fashion around and throughout
all of the organs. Therefore, Myofascial stretches are aimed at
stretching units/areas and are less focused on individual muscle
stretching.
- Office

on head, neck, shoulder, back, hand and foot.
- On
- Location- We come to convenience of your office and home to
give relief from common tensions.
- Orthopedic
Massage - A form of bodywork for treatment of pain and injuries
caused by dysfunction in the locomotor tissues of the body (muscle,
tendon, ligament, bone, bursa, fascia, and nerve). The term Orthopedic
Massage does not denote a specific technique, but is used to include
a broad spectrum of approaches for soft-tissue dysfunction. Orthopedic
Massage may incorporate diverse techniques such as trigger point
therapy, deep transverse friction, myofascial approaches or muscle
energy techniques to name but a few. It is not as much a technique
as it is an umbrella concept for a wide variety of treatment methods.

increasingly essential to treat the foot regularly for optimum

- Shiatsu
- Shiatsu is a form of physical manipulation that was developed
in Japan in the twentieth century. Its origin comes from ancient
Chinese techniques, “do-in” and “anma”.
Do-in is very similar to yoga while Anma resembles Western massage.
These two techniques are the oldest forms of medical treatment
in the Orient. In modern times, modern manipulative therapy like
chiropractic and osteopathy, mainly imported from America, established
a new status in medicine: massage was still considered as a more
or less medical substitute. About 1,000 years ago Chinese medicine
was introduced into Japan. At that time the Anma method was well
known in the medical field and was considered the safest and easiest
method to treat the human body. During the Edo Era (about 300
years ago), doctors in Japan were required to study Anma in order
to understand and become familiar with the structure of the human
body and its functions in terms of meridian lines. Their training
in this type of manual therapy enabled them to accurately diagnose
and administer Chinese herbal medicine as well as locate the acupuncture
points easily for acupuncture treatments when they became independent.
Unfortunately, this ancient manipulation method was reduced to
treating only simple problems like frozen shoulders and tight-back,
and was referred to as a blind man’s profession. Because
blind people were at a great disadvantage in receiving formal
study in diagnosis and treatment, Anma gradually became associated
with pleasure and comfort. Western massage, as an ancient form
of manipulation documented in Egyptian, Greek, and Roman history,
became popular in Japan about 100 years ago when their doors were
opened to the West. However, this type of massage did not enter
the mainstream of medicine in Japan. Later, a modern method of
manipulation was imported to Japan that focused on bone structure,
the autonomic nervous system, and internal organ functioning rather
than on muscle, the lymphatic system, and blood circulation as
is the case with massage. A few traditional Anma therapists studied
this new method and combined it with their own technique creating
a new method, which was usually named after its originator. All
of these techniques were placed under the general name “Shiatsu”.
So, the term Shiatsu actually represents a number of different
methods of manipulation. Recognition of Shiatsu in Japan as a
bona-fide type of manipulation therapy came about 80 years ago
and has been popular among the public for about 60 years. As this
form of treatment became popular, due to its simple, but effective
techniques, it was recognized as a legitimate form of therapy.
Today, the three legally recognized forms of manipulation therapy
in Japan are Anma, Western or Swedish massage, and Shiatsu. Although
some professional therapists insist that a great deal of difference
exists among these forms of treatment, logically great differences
cannot exist within one general field, in this case, manually
applied stimulation to the human body. Of course, there are a
variety of methods and schools, but basically they are similar.
