Shiatsu |

A traditional therapeutic form of massage, it uses deep penetrating pressure to stimulate acupressure points, the same points used in acupuncture. Releasing these healing points opens the channels of energy and blood circulation to nourish the internal organs, glands, muscles, nerves, and vital centers of the body. |

Reflexology |

In practice for centuries, this technique is based on the premise that there are reflexes in our hands, feet and ears that relate to every organ and part of our body. By stimulating these reflexes with pressure and manipulation, nerve function and blood supply may be improved, which alleviates stress and other health problems. |

Benefits of Massage Therapy
An increasing number of research studies show massage reduces heart rate, lowers blood pressure, increases blood circulation and lymph flow, relaxes muscles, improves range of motion, and increases endorphins (enhancing medical treatment). Although therapeutic massage does not increase muscle strength, it can stimulate weak, inactive muscles and, thus, partially compensate for the lack of exercise and inactivity resulting from illness or injury. It also can hasten and lead to a more complete recovery from exercise or injury. Massage therapy also:
 Relieves stress and aids relaxation- Aids healing of strained or sprained tissues
- Enhances athletic performance
- Reduces pain and swelling
- Improves circulation and movement of lymph fluids
- Reduces formation of scar tissue
- Reduces blood pressure
- Improves joint flexibility and range of motion
- Improves posture
- Strengthens immune system
- Improves body/mind awareness
