Ashiatsu Bar Therapy
-
Consistent, steady deep pressure throughout session.
Circulatory benefits
Increases body’s healing
and more -
Looking for deeper pressure?Ashiatsu Bar Therapy is a hybrid between Swedish and Deep-Tissue Massage performed with bare feet while the client rests comfortably on the table. The therapist uses bars above the head for balance. Oils are generously applied to the body. The technique combines centrifugal and centripetal pumping movement that benefits the client by creating structural change and suppleness in soft tissue. Because the therapist is able to use the weight of their body, it is considered one of the deepest techniques in the field of therapeutic massage and bodywork.

CranioSacral Therapy, or (CST), is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the CranioSacral System. This system is comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. These tissues control the development and performance of the central nervous system. Within the walls of these membranes lies the endocrine system, which houses all of the glands that produce the hormones for regulating body function. Because of these close relations, CST can affect a range of conditions in the body and can help promote a healthy immune system.
Using a soft experienced touch, the practitioners release restrictions in the body's fascia and craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system.

Senior Massage
-
Deep relaxation
Pain relief
Relief from muscle tension -
Massage therapy for seniors is meant to help maintain optimal health, minimizing the declines that will become more noticeable over time. Even in optimal health, daily living takes a toll on the body. As we age, the immune system responds more slowly to injuries and infections. Chronic conditions develop- back and joint issues- arthritis and repetitive stress injuries, loss of strength and flexibility. Restless sleep, insomnia, longer recovery and increased pain from usual activities are not unexpected. These are just some of the natural, unpreventable processes of aging.
If your health is not good, massage can assist with better sleep, less pain, and less stiffness. Massage can also help with the anxiety and depression that can accompany a changing lifestyle. Regardless of where you are on the spectrum of geriatrics, massage therapy can be a beneficial part of your silver years.

Improves emotional and psychological states -
Tien Di translates to earth and sky and has it's origin in Asian medicine and philosophy. It incorporates three techniques; the use of bamboo tools (Cho sticks), Asian glass cups, and Gua Sha.
The Cho Sticks:
Cho sticks are used as an extension of the therapists hands to incorporate deep penetrating pressure into the muscles. As clients muscles are worked, the energy that is contained within the walls of the bamboo is transferred to them, creating a variety of unique sensations. Clients have expressed feeling a tingling all over the body, and a sensation that the bamboo somehow conforms and bends to their body.How do the Cho sticks work? The Cho sticks contain a compound called silica. Unique properties of which are quartz like crystal matrixes that are activated when they encounter the right conditions of mechanical stress, such as the use of these bamboo tools for massage. Two properties of quartz are the Piezo and Pyro electricity effect, both producing an electric charge. Piezoelectricity is activated with pressure, and Pyroelectricity with heat. As the therapist applies pressure to the body using the Cho sticks to massage, the friction that is created activates the molecular structure in the silica.
The Glass Cups:
Cupping is a method of applying acupressure by creating a vacuum next to the client’s skin. In Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) it involves leaving glass, plastic, or bamboo cups on the skin. Originally, the cups were made of bamboo. Here, we use glass cups and the cups are continually in motion as the therapist uses them to glide over the surface of the skin. Cupping is the opposite of massage. In massage, compression techniques are used. However, with cupping the technique suctions and lifts. Cupping has been found to penetrate the human body up to four inches deep, causing tissues to release toxins to the skins surface, activating the lymphatic system, clearing stretch marks, and improving varicose veins.Gua Sha Technique:
Gua Sha, Gua meaning “to scrape or extract”, and Sha, meaning “sand or toxins”, is a traditional ancient Chinese healing technique that dates back over two thousand years. Round-edged instruments made of horn, bone or pieces of jade are used to work along the surface of the skin to scrape away the remnants of toxins after cupping has drawn them to the skins surface. This ancient method is used to promote Chi or bioelectric vital life energy, blood circulation and the removal of toxic heat, stagnant blood and lymph fluid from the body.Cupping and Gua Sha are techniques that come as an aid to finish the work done with the Cho sticks. They suction and sweep away what has surfaced from the treatment. These three techniques together make a complete and powerful Tian Di session. It is not unusual that the positive effects of Tian Di continue for days after the session.
