Holistic Asian oil Full Body Massage ( Deep Tissue Massage)

Deep Tissue Massage is a massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It aims to release 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 fiber's of the muscles, tendons and fascia.

Deep tissue massage is used to release chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles not with the grain. Deep tissue massage helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue. Deep tissue massage usually focuses on more specific areas and may cause some soreness during or right after the massage. However, if the massage is done correctly you should feel better than ever within a day or two.

Why get a Deep Tissue Massage?
It feels good and it is beneficial to your health. When muscles are stressed, they block oxygen and nutrients, leading to inflammation that builds up toxins in the muscle tissue. A deep-tissue massage helps loosen muscle tissues, release toxins from muscles and get blood and oxygen circulating properly. Because many toxins are released, it's important to drink plenty of water after a deep-tissue session to help eliminate these toxins from the body.

What is the purpose of Deep Tissue Massage?
The purpose is to "unstuck" the fibers of a muscle while releasing deeply-held patterns of tension, removing toxins, while relaxing and soothing the muscle. It is both corrective and therapeutic.

Holistic massage is based on traditional Swedish massage techniques but with the use of oil instead of talcum powder. Swedish massage was developed by a Swedish physiologist and fencing master who after studying in China developed a system of movements that he found helped to improve his health and physical condition. Holistic massage provides a very relaxing massage, which can be adapted specifically to each client's needs. By adjusting the strokes used the massage can be relaxing, invigorating, stimulating or tension busting. It is a full body massage, which treats the person as a whole, not just the physical symptoms but also the psychology, environment and nutrition, and the effects that these can have on us.

Holistic massage takes into account the client's integral biology, which is the study of our environment's effect on both our physical and mental health. Work, exercise, diet and sedentary activity all have an effect on our bodies, physically and psychologically. By getting a clear picture of the client's life and integral biology, it enables the therapist to treat not just the symptoms, but often the cause. It also helps the therapist to tailor the treatment more appropriately for each client.

Holistic massage has many benefits, some of these include improved circulation, waste removal, skin tone and digestion. It can help relieve muscle fatigue, stiff joints and stress. It encourages sleep and promotes a feeling of well being by releasing endorphins (happy hormones). The psychological uplift that people experience when receiving a holistic massage can often help them to cope with the stresses in their lives that usually they would struggle to deal with.

Stone massage therapy ( Hot or Cold )

Stone massage therapy involves the application of water heated basalt stones of varying sizes to key points of the body, giving deep massage and creating sensations of comfort and warmth. The direct heat relaxes muscles, allowing manipulation of a greater intensity than a regular massage – meaning the muscles are warmed to such a degree that it eliminates the use of effleurage and kneading for the therapist who wants to work a deep massage, which in turn takes a lot of the hard work and energy out of the massage for sport therapists or therapeutic massage therapists.

In cases of muscular injury and inflammation, frozen cooling marble stones are used. This creates a type of thermo therapeutic ‘vascular gymnastics’ in the circulatory system to help the body detoxify and heal. The warmer stones expand the blood vessels, pushing blood and unwanted waste materials through the body. This has a sedative effect on the nervous system. The cold stones cause the blood vessels to constrict, stimulating the nervous system and drawing blood and waste products along the body. This ensures that every cell in the body receives more oxygen and nutrients while at the same time waste material is removed more effectively through the corresponding increase in lymph flow. Not unlike changing the old oil and filter in your car for a newer filter with clean oil – a service for the body.

It is quite an experience to feel the deeply relaxing, penetrating heat from the basalt stones alternating with the toning and refreshing coolness of the marble stones. The use of extremes of temperature has long been scientifically and medically proven to be of benefit to the body. Those who wish to relax and tone their muscles with a minimum of effort see this in the use of ice packs for muscle trauma and the use of saunas.

Cold stones are vase constricting, which means they decrease blood flow to an area and increase blood viscosity, decrease metabolism, reduce inflammation, elevate the client’s pain threshold. Which affords the client more comfort, reduce skeletal muscle spasms, which decreases pain, decreases the sensitivity of muscle fibers and decreases nerve-conduction velocity (creates a numbing effect),

The weight of the stones offers a comforting pressure to the body’s stress zones and counteracts the weight of the clients own body, which then creates an immediate uplifting response. Additionally relaxation is induced very quickly allowing the clients body to heal it.

Nearly all stones and minerals have some magnetic character, which therefore re-organizes the structure of the human energy body, and polarizes imbalances within the physical body

Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage has evolved from traditional techniques used in India for over a thousand years. Massage has been, and continues to be, a large part of family life all over India.

Although IHM treats only the upper part of the body it provides widespread benefits and is a truly holistic therapy as it has many physiological and psychological benefits. It is a fantastic stress buster and as it is performed fully clothed and seated, it is perfect for the workplace.

Not only is it completely non-invasive but it especially targets those tension areas in the neck and shoulders so often experienced at work. Other areas worked on during a treatment are the upper back and arms, scalp and face. IHM helps to relieve stress and improve concentration and clarity of thought thus helping people to function more efficiently.

Hopi Ear Candling

Thermo-Auricular Therapy (ear candling) is a pleasant non-invasive treatment of the ears and used to treat a variety of conditions including Tinnitus, Headaches/migraines, excessive/compacted ear wax, mild hearing loss, glue hear, ear aches, sinus problems, colds/flu, sore throats, snoring (in some cases), hay fever, Menieres disease, pressure regulation and stress. These ear candles induce a revitalizing heat upon the head and ears which soothes, relieves and relaxes. Today ear candling is performed in many natural and alternative healthcare practices.

THE TREATMENT
A relaxing atmosphere is created, with soothing music, and fragrant essential oils, and the lighted ear candle is placed with its base in the clients ear. A light suction action (chimney effect) and the movement of the flame create a vibration of air in the ear candle, generating a massage-like effect on the eardrum. This induces a feeling of warmth and a balance of pressure in the ears, forehead and sinuses. It is soothing and helpful for earache and headaches, ear noise, stress and nervousness. The physical effect is often described directly after the treatment as a soothing, pressure and pain relieving sensation, mainly in the ear and head area. Treatment may also spontaneously cause freer nasal breathing and an improved sense of smell even when the nose was blocked before treatment. Gentle heat is experienced around the ear, promoting the blood and lymph circulation. The heat is transmitted through to the rest of the ear and surrounding structures. The ingredients of the candle vaporized and circulate around the outer part of the ear. This draws out impurities and promotes the natural release of excessive earwax from the ear canal. Earwax is softened and can be removed up to 48 hours after a treatment, e.g. it is usually naturally expelled in the shower or on the pillow in the morning. Hearing can be temporarily reduced by the wax expanding, just as when drops are put in the ears, the wax is hydrated and expands before being removed.

As the ingredients vaporize, they are drawn down inside the candle and circulate around the ear canal. (The sizzling sound the client hears is the ingredient vaporizing). The vapors are also inhaled through the nose and into the lungs, where their therapeutic properties are circulated around the body via the blood. Many of the constituents of the candles have properties that calm and soothe the nervous system, and also have the effect of lifting depression and promoting a ‘feel good factor’.

A light head and facial massage completes the treatment. Afterwards the contents of the candle are examined to see how effective the treatment has been and to indicate how further treatments should proceed.
