Massage therapy has great power to relax the body, relieve stress and tension, and heal the mind and soul. This in itself supports the alleviation of pain and other stress-related conditions. I draw on my years of experience as a massage therapist and communicate with the client to find the optimal approach. Years of client feedback and observation of the health benefits of massage help me choose from several therapeutic and healing techniques.
Having always worked in health orientated clinics I was driven to get results. Most clients now come to see me for stress-related conditions, recovery from trauma or a way out of pain or fatigue. Acupressure can be simply described as a combination of acupuncture and massage technique. Clients remain fully clothed and no acupuncture needles are used. According to the clients needs, gentle to firm touch is applied to pressure points around the body.
During my two decades of experience in treating clients with acupressure and therapeutic massage techniques, my clients have commonly reported the following benefits;.
I draw on three key practices to create a unique treatment plan for every client. Most often it is acupressure or acupressure combined with massage techniques. Acupressure massage is a traditional Chinese method also known as pressure-point massage. This massage technique calms the mind and body, alleviates stress and muscular tension and improves circulation by applying pressure to specific points.
If left untreated, built-up tension can impact posture, digestion and circulation, and contribute to anxiety and pain. Read more about my unique approach to acupressure massage here. During abdominal massage I gently lay my hands on the abdomen, feeling for muscular tension in and around the abdomen. I gently massage through the abdomen working on the meridians relating to the organs.
