The healing molecules pass through the blood to tissues and the brain, improving immune function and, according to recent scientific evidence, have significant effects on moods.

The purpose is to “unstick” the fibers of a muscle while releasing deeply-held patterns of tension, removing toxins, while relaxing and soothing the muscle.

The traditional Thai Herbal Compress is a heated compress with aromatic and detoxifying medicinal herbs used since ancient times. While the client is on massage table, the compress is applied with a distinctive kneading action as a complement to a traditional Thai massage. Thai massage techniques are, similar to shiatsu (see below) but with additional stretching to release tight joints and muscles, increase range of motion, and further reduce stress. Practitioners position the body into yoga-like poses and gently rock the body to more deeply open joints .

The steam releases the healing properties of the herbs, which are absorbed through the skin, improving blood circulation and providing a healing, refreshing, revitalizing and rejuvenating experience.

Reflexology is an ancient Chinese technique that uses pressure-point massage, usually on the feet which are energetically connected to all parts of the body. Reflex points in the feet are stimulated, bringing balance and relaxation to the entire body.

SHIATSU

Translated from Japanese, the word Shiatsu (she-’at-soo) means finger pressure. The Zen shiatsu we offer is like a massage version of acupuncture, without the needles. The oils and stroking movements of massage are replaced by gentle stretching and deep pressure covering both broad areas and specific points along defined lines or meridians. These movements promote free flow of Qi or energy.

We recommend you wear comfortable loose-fitting clothing and you will be lying on a futon on the floor (although a massage table is always an option). A skilled therapist works with the body’s signals and adjusts a treatment accordingly. The treatment leaves one feeling profoundly relaxed, in “balance” and with less tightness and pain.

Learn More About Shiatsu...

Where did it come from?

It’s based on more than 3500 years of Asian medicine and knowledge. The Chinese type massage made its way to Japan and was developed there along with western medicine in this last century. Now it is practiced throughout the world. It focuses on the body’s physical, emotional and energy systems. The concept of balance derives from traditional oriental healing principles.

The treatment attempts to balance opposing yin and yang qualities such as hot/cold and excess/deficient. While the shiatsu I do embraces the oriental notion is of mind+body as one, I also take into account the more Western concepts of anatomy, physiology and pathology. So really it’s about: East meets west.

How is it done?

The nice thing about shiatsu is that both the therapist and the receiver are in a relaxed state. I simply align my body to apply perpendicular pressure, using my own body weight. I can work with you on a massage table, but this is not as effective or as comfortable for my body. I am penetrating but not really pressing. It is a two way connection: as you feel the gentle pressure, you relax and support my weight.

As I am going through the layers and feeling how you respond, I adjust my pressure accordingly. This is something that one of those massaging chairs can’t do. I begin with broader palms and then work up to using more focused thumb pressure following the meridians and correcting imbalances. Sometimes I use my knees, elbows or even my feet to apply pressure.

Is it covered by insurance?

Some extended health insurance covers shiatsu but companies are covering less these days. Because shiatsu therapy seems to be as effective and in some cases more effective than massage therapy, associations representing shiatsu practitioners are constantly lobbying for more insurance companies to cover it. Some of my clients have received both registered massage therapy and registered shiatsu therapy and they find the shiatsu treatment is deeper, more relaxing and longer-lasting.

Does it hurt?

You will feel an awareness of your tightness and soreness as I work, but in the process you will feel releasing and easing of the pressure . It should always be a good sensation and never continue in a way that makes you flinch or feel very uncomfortable in any way.

What health problems can it help with?

First it can help prevent problems. Regular shiatsu can keep you in balance so you don’t break down, injure yourself or get sick. However, many people who have developed conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, back pain, stress or exercise related muscle tension, headaches, emotional problems and respiratory or digestive problems experience significant benefits from shiatsu treatments.

Stress-Buster CHAIR MASSAGE

Whether replacing a break at work or impressing your guests at a social event, 15-20 minute on-site chair massage/shiatsu will be popular. The revitalizing treatment is done through clothing while sitting face-forward, fully supported in the massage chair. This allows every part of the body to relax while relieving tension in the neck, back and shoulder muscles.

At your pre-wedding, office or après sport social event, the chair massage can be one among other options for bringing relaxation to you. Ladies may enjoy feet treats while they sip on wine or rejuvenating their skin with mini-facials (see below) Athletes may prefer sports treatments on a massage table.
