O' Sole O' Mio
This little piggy went to the market...oh, you know! This is the massage for the under appreciated feet.
You are on them all day and how do you show your gratitude? Reflexology and other techniques will
send you right to heaven.
Foot massage and reflexology are based on the idea that massaging certain point on the feet can influence distant parts of the body. The reflexes extend form the extremities to the top of the head along what the Egyptian and Chinese civilizations termed "meridians". Meridians or pathways influence the vital organs in passing. The massage therapist treats the reflex points and aims to release energy in the meridians. All of those things and it feels fabulous. Perfect for the person in search of a quick "treat".
Personal Injury Massage
These services are for those involved in motor vehicle accidents. Your
massage will feature myofascial, neuromuscular, trigger point, esalen and
Stephens Method techniques.
Why use Massage for Injury Treatment?
The influence of massage is very helpful in alleviating pain after accidents and injuries. In the case of serious
injury such as whiplash from a car accident, the pain can be greater during the recovery stage than
immediately after the accident.
An injury causes a rip or tearing of the muscle tissue and interrupts the normal function of the muscle. This is accompanied by pain, swelling and inflammation. Pain itself draws conscious attention to the injury site so that irritating movements is discouraged. The increased circulation to the site is responsible for the swelling. Inflammation involves a rise in temperature at the site of the damaged tissue. Appropriate therapeutic massage treatment to the area helps modify these responses so that the injuries are easier to bear and quicker to heal. Massage treatment should be started as soon as you receive clearance from your physician. Premature use of the injured part will increase swelling. Swelling is evidence that the healing process is being irritated. Continued use of the part will simply reverse the recovery process. Atrophy or decaying of the muscle will then occur.
Conventional treatment of muscle pain from injury is generally pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs, but myofascial pain may prove resistant. Therapeutic Massage such as Myofascial Release, Deep Tissue techniques, Neuromuscular Integration and Stephens Method of Manual Therapy will stimulate the circulation and help relax trigger points and other areas of stiffness in the muscles, easing pain. In an ongoing study at the Touch Research Institute in Miami, evidence reports that a group receiving massage experienced greater relief than one receiving TENS (low voltage electrical stimulation) therapy; a standard conventional medical therapy.
Pregnancy Massage
The nature of massage therapy makes it a beneficial form of care during every stage of pregnancy. What
could be more natural? Massage during pregnancy helps to condition both the body and the emotions
during the pre-natal stages. Massage relieves pain and alarm during labor and helps ensure rapid post-natal
recovery.
The changes in the body of Mom-to-be are made to accomodate the rapidly growing child. So selfish this
new human! In this sense, the body of the mother is physically changed for the benefit of the baby. It is no
surprise then, for the majority of women, the long preparation for the birth is a physically strenuous
experience. Leg pain, back pain, swelling and headaches are all common symptoms associated with
pregnancy.
Pregnancy can also be psychologically taxing. The excitement is accompanied with apprehension. If the balance of care is inadequate, the failure is reflected in the mother's body. Particularly the circulatory and cardiovascular system. Massage is of great help in this area. Nothing helps blood flow faster than massage! During pregnancy Mom must be aware to different types of medication. Massage is the most natural form of healing.
Alleviate the discomforts of many physical challenges resulting from pregnancy: back pain, leg pain, cramps, etc. This massage focuses on "Mommy" and will allow you to once again lay on your stomach! We have a cushion made just for you.
Warm Stone Massage
Close your eyes, relax and feel yourself float into a wonderful warm tranquil new
experience. Warm, smooth stones are gently placed on your body. As you are
massaged with these stones, feel all the stress melt away. Ahhhhh.....
From Canyon Ranch, Allegria Spa to the Spa retreats on the East Coast of Florida, the Warm Stone Massage is now a much requested treatment. Many of the spas and health resorts have led the way in shifting the emphasis toward the prevention of disease through alternative modalties. Stone massage, a natural addition to quality alternative therapies, aids much in addressing the symptoms faced by most of us...STRESS.
This modality is incorporated into your regular massage or you can choose the Spa
Stone option. The goal is deeper theraputic release. Using the techniques, specific
movements concentrate on all layers of muscles that have become depleted of their
normal blood and lymphatic flow. The use of warm stones facilitate the process
involving circulation and it effects changes on a cellular level. The warmth and
smoothness of the stones induce a deeper level of relaxation and in turn the local and
systemic effects are body and mind altering. You will lose all track and space and time.
Hawaiian Lomi Massage
The ancient art of Hawaiian Lomi Lomi was a gift of healing that was passed down to the "chosen one� of the
family who spent their life practicing the healing arts. Kahunas (healers) were taught to use thumbs, hands,
ulnas and elbows to massage. Hawaiian Lomi Lomi was kept secret within families for most of it�s history until
recently when a Kahuna decided to teach anyone who wanted to learn.
So what is the difference between Lomi Lomi and any other massage? I�ve been told that it just �feels different�. Lomi Lomi feels like many different technique put into one flowing system. It has a rhythm and flow that is soothing and feels complete. Debbie journeys to Hawaii frequently to continue her education in Lomi. Come experience Lomi and put it into your own words. Enjoy the spirit of Aloha. Mahalo!
