Bamboo Blend Massage
For centuries bamboo has been a vital part of everyday life throughout Southeast Asia and has come to signify good luck, long life, friendship, peace and harmony. Bamboo Blend Massage uses a set of beautifully crafted warmed bamboo tools. The therapists uses these tools to maximize leverage and gravity, while sliding, rolling, kneading and pivoting. This blending makes it difficult to tell the difference between the hands of the therapist and the tools themselves. The application of the warm bamboo melts away the tensions of the client while simultaneously creating a deeply relaxing and soothing experience. If you have dense muscle tissue and have difficulty getting relief from normal massage, this is the massage for you.

Taisu

The session is performed while the client is wearing work-out/yoga clothes and lying on a mat. This allows for greater freedom to stretch and move the client’s body while the therapist massages with a combination of hands, elbows, knees and feet. The result is a deep, flowing, enlivening experience that treats the whole body and is an ideal balance to an active life-style.

As one of the four branches of TCM, Tui Na has worked closely with its sister therapies (Acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and Qi Gong) throughout history in the East. Tui Na is a great preventative measure for the potential breakdown of mental, emotional, or physical health and is a practical, functional modality that will fit any lifestyle since the client is typically fully clothed. It could easily supplement any aspect of the various health and medical systems today. Used to manipulate and revive soft tissue while stimulating or activating Qi meridians, our vital source of energy, via acupoints throughout the body, Tui Na also incorporates a variety of hand techniques, traction, stretches, and range of motion. Tui Na (meaning push grasp) is fast and effective whether applied in a soft soothing manner to promote rest and relaxation or in an aggressive, invigorating fashion to energize the body spirit connection and clear stagnate energy.

Restrictions are believed to be the cause of poor health, especially conditions related to the brain, spine, and nervous system. Craniosacral has been know to reduce migraines, headaches, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and stress-related disorders.

is a sacred healing art that was rediscovered in the Shinto Temples of Japan by Master Jiro Murai in 1912.

This Art was buried in the Shinto temples of Japan in an effort to keep the treasured knowledge secret and intact. It offers techniques specific for treatment of chronic conditions and other types of physical and psychological problems. These approaches are appropriate for working closely with the Western medical model and its relationship to Asian energetic healing models, such as acupuncture. The purpose of this gentle healing touch is to use the energy anatomy of the body to activate the body’s own healing response, restoring it to balance and health.

Neuromuscular Therapy
is a system of soft tissue manipulation techniques that balance the nervous system (brain, spinal cord, and nerves) with the structure of the musculoskeletal system. NMT considers five principles that cause pain:
Postural distortion
muscular imbalance resulting from the body's movement off the coronal, midsagittal, and horizontal planes in attempts to compensate for the pull of gravity.
Biomechanical dysfunction
musculoskeletal imbalance caused by habitual faulty movement or repetitive strain.
Soft Tissue
causes of these patterns and presenting pain conditions - Ischemia - lack of blood flow to soft tissues which typically cause sensitivity to touch.
Trigger points
rapid firing of nerve impulses into areas of the body which may be far from the actual site of pain.
Nerve compression or entrapment
pressure on a nerve from bone, cartilage, or soft tissue. Nerve entrapment is the most common type of pain and always causes ischemia.
