massage

Massage therapy is not just for those experiencing acute or chronic pain conditions. Therapeutic massage directly stimulates and influences the nervous system. Not only helping to release beneficial neurotransmitters but it releases proteins to benefit the endocrine and immune systems, ultimately lowering stress hormones, decreasing heart rate and increasing blood flow.

Massage may be beneficial for the following conditions and more:

  • Muscular tension, sprains and strains

  • Myofascial Pain Syndrome

  • Fibromyalgia

  • Headaches & Migraines

  • Depression and Anxiety

  • Insomnia

  • Rotator Cuff Syndrome

  • Frozen Shoulder

  • Tennis and Golf Elbow

  • Arthritis & Rheumatoid Arthritis

  • Carpal Tunnel

  • Sciatica

  • Sports injuries

  • Hypertension

VISCERAL MANIPULATION

Visceral Manipulation is a gentle, hands-on therapy that focuses on the body’s internal organs, or viscera, to enhance their natural mobility and function. Developed by French Osteopath Jean-Pierre Barral, this technique involves precise and gentle pressure to detect and release restrictions in the connective tissues and fascia surrounding the organs.

The fascia is a continuous web of connective tissue that envelopes every organ, muscle, nerve and vessel in the body. Restrictions and strains within this network can lead to pain and dysfunction, not only in the affected organ but also in distant parts of the body due to the interconnected nature of the fascial system. By addressing these deep fascial connections, visceral manipulation helps to restore normal mobility and tone of the organs and their surrounding structures.

This therapy can alleviate a variety of conditions such as digestive disorders, musculoskeletal pain, and post surgical adhesions, by improving the structural integrity and functional harmony of the body. Visceral Manipulation supports the body’s ability to self-heal and achieve optimal well-being.

Visceral Manipulation may be beneficial for conditions such as:

  • Organ dysfunction

  • Digestive disorders - discomfort, IBS, constipation, swallowing dysfunction

  • Post-surgical

  • Emotional stress - PTSD, anxiety, and depression

  • Respiratory issues - asthma, bronchitis

  • Chronic pain conditions - fatigue, fibromyalgia

  • Gynecological conditions - menstrual pain, pelvic pain, fibroids, endometriosis

 

MediCupping Vacuum Therapy

MediCupping manual therapy is a technique that uses glass or plastic cups and a machine to create suction on the surface of the body. These cups are moved along the skin using gliding, shaking, rocking, and rotating movements while gently pulling up on the cup. They also may be left stationary for a short time to facilitate joint mobilization or soft tissue release. These basic movements can easily be customized to accomplish a wide variety of techniques, from lymphatic drainage to deep tissue release. This complements many health modalities ranging from spa treatments and medical massage, to chiropractic, physical, and occupational therapies. By creating suction and negative pressure, Medicupping therapy is used to soften tight muscles, tone attachments, loosen adhesions, lift connective tissue, bring hydration and blood flow to body tissues, and drain excess fluids and toxins by opening lymphatic pathways and much more.

Unlike traditional cupping therapy, the MediCupping machine has the ability to control and customize the amount of suction and the release of tissue. This unique feature allows for a “fine-tuning” of the technique, leading to a substantial increase in effective results that are able to be replicated. The end result is rapid, measurable progress and shifts in condition.

Medicupping therapy does not use any open flames or heat, eliminating the risk of burns or injury. MediCupping is a safe, effective modality.

Medicupping has demonstrated immediate effects on many conditions including:

  • Arthritis, Tendonitis, Bursitis

  • Deep tissue and structural issues – old injuries and chronic movement patterns

  • Fibromyalgia and chronic pain

  • Lung inflammation and congestion

  • Lymphatic congestion – general and post-surgery

  • Migraine and tension headaches

  • Parkinson’s Disease

  • Plantar Fascitis

  • Pre- and post-operative conditions

  • Sports – injuries and post-event conditions

  • Scarring – old, new, keloid, post-surgery

  • Sluggish colon, IBS

  • Vascular issues – spider veins and varicosities

CHI NEI TSANG 

Chi Nei Tsang, or massage of the vital organs, is a deeply transformative form of bodywork that focuses on the health and harmony of the body’s internal organs. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, this practice involves gentle, yet profound abdominal massage techniques that encourage the release of physical and emotional tension.

By addressing the energetic and physical aspects of the internal organs, Chi Nei Tsang promotes optimal organ function, enhances circulation, lymphatic flow, and the body’s natural detoxification processes. This holistic approach not only alleviates discomfort and improves digestion but also fosters a greater overall sense of well-being and emotional balance.

Chi Nei Tsang may help with:

  • Digestive issues - bloating, constipation, IBS

  • Detoxification - enhancing liver and kidney function

  • Circulation - promotes blood and lymph flow

  • Chronic pain - relieving tension through acupressure and fascial relationships

  • Emotional stress - anxiety, depression, and emotional imbalances

  • Post-surgical recovery - supporting adhesions and scar tissue in the abdominal region

  • Menstrual and reproductive health - alleviating menstrual cramps, PMS and overall reproductive health

  • Respiratory issues - improving diaphragmatic function and respiratory efficiency
