Indian Head Massage |
| |
India's most popular massage. Indian head massage is a relaxing therapy involving massage of the upper back, arms, shoulders, neck, head and face. It purports to provide relief from insomnia, anxiety, mental fatigue, migraine, aches and pains and stress symptoms, promote hair growth, soothe, comfort and rebalance skin and provide a sense of deep calmness and tranquility. Indian head massage is based on the ancient Ayurvedic healing system, practiced in India for over a thousand years. This treatment concentrates on relieving stress and congestion in the head and shoulder areas, so often the place where we hold our tension. Used in conjunction with the essential oils, it can help many scalp conditions. |

Rwo Shr Foot Zone Therapy |
| |
The Rwo Shr Method was developed in Taiwan by Father Joseph, a Swiss missionary. After experiencing the benefits of reflexology himself, he saw the potential to help millions of needy people with this simple therapy and began to treat and then train others in reflexology. Foot Reflexology is a health method that focuses on the reflex zones of the feet to improve general health. Everyone has reflex zones in their body. All organs and body parts are reflected along one or more of these zonesThe foot reflexologist applies pressure to points on a person's foot. Every unit in the body is inter-related and inter-dependent on each other. Precise areas of the feet and hands relate to particular parts of the body; the whole body can be treated via points on the feet and hands, which are called “reflex areas”. For instance, if any part of the body malfunctions, it will be manifested in symptoms like numbness, soreness, swelling or aching.

Japanese Finger Pressure Massage |
| |
The word Shiatsu means finger pressure. Shiatsu evolved from an ancient form of Japanese Body Therapy. It uses the pressure of the fingers, thumbs, palms of the hands, elbows or feet to activate and support the body’s natural energy flow, clearing blocked pathways and enhancing circulation. This energy known as Ki or Chi, is always present in the body and plays an important role in maintaining health and well being. Shiatsu treatment consists of pressure applied with the balls of the thumbs and fingers and the palms of the hands to specific points on the surface of the body. Zen Shiatsu is a very slow and gentle way to balance the physical, emotional, and energetic body. It is a method of preventive health care and therapy that increases vitality, relieves fatigue, and stimulates the body’s natural healing power by pressure applied to key points on the body.
